As usual, a lady screenwriter spews misogynist, boring cliche crap



The chick-flick screenwriter strikes again:

OMG, a chick who cares about her career! Lets write her as some obsessive workaholic who really needs to be nailed good and hard.

OMG, a chick who really enjoys her job! Lets make sure the older wiser fella tells her that it's all bs and what really counts is family and loved ones. Imagine an older female character ever telling a younger male character that in the end, his job is meaningless.

OMG, a capable intelligent articulate woman. Lets make sure that somehow when it's time for her to talk to some smug douchebag who insults her and calls her a nut, she becomes clumsy and weird and thoroughly incompetent.

Oh and lets make absolutely sure to hit the viewers on the head with the fact that this chick TOTALLY BLOWS ALL HER FIRST DATES....ACK!!!

This girl is CRAAAAAZY!

We get it, Aline Brosh McKenna aka writer of sickeningly misogynist movies. You, as a professional full-time working woman in Hollywood which has a very busy and driven place, believe that OTHER women really need to get their priorities straight and make sure that they find a guy who'll nail em nice and good and they don't worry too much about their jobs.

Basically this entire movie was a rerun of a Cathy cartoon. Ugh.

Awesome assessment. Even if I did like it, you're totally correct.
