Hello! It's not sexist!

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 1999)

Oversimplifying it as a sexist film is a big mistake. This film is not that easy to label.
First, not all 'women are viewed as nothing more than the object of male desire'. Jane is so not an object! (Actually Angela, who is more like an 'object', was kinda criticized in the end by Ricky. )
Second, there is almost no 'good guy' and 'bad guy' in the film.
(I don't think Carolyn or Colonel Fitts is wicked; they are just human.) Therefore, EVEN IF the male characters do treat women as 'objects', it does not mean that the director agrees nor is he propagandising this idea. He just tells a story of reality and leaves the audience to think and make their own decision.
So I think jonie v.'s criticism (5 October 1999) is unfair, and, if one views the film this way, he will miss so much in it.
