... unless you like to get bombarded with meaningless porn clips.
Before I went to the movie I checked rotten tomatoes. Critics 82%, audience 71%. It must be good, right, perhaps something like the 40 years old virgin... Wrong! It was awful. Whatever message it had it was lost between between the porn bits. The characters didn't have any depth, they were just stereotypical. The men were libidinous and disgusting, and they didn't have any preoccupation other than scoring women. OK, one guy liked to watch NFL in addition to being libidinous. The women were stereotypical as well, a mother that had to put up for decades with her lewd husband (whose house uniform was a wife-beater), Scarlet's character uneven and controlling (in her world her man becomes a puppet in exchange for being provided with an object of desire or love, and sex services), the sister who texted the whole movie, and, well, Juliane's character, artificial, ready to give advice and live sessions about the art of sex and love making to a stranger (yeah, like that happens a lot to other guys - I know, I am just envious).
A recurring theme was to take a poke at the catholic church. These days it seems fashionable to do it over the different channels, but for the life of me I am not too sure why the guy bothered to go to church. Or perhaps, they were making fun of the people going to church, being hypocrite and all. Well, it kind of got as tiring as the porn clips, the scenes with the guy making his bed or throwing napkins in the garbage bin after masturbation sessions.
If I were a woman, I would probably feel uncomfortable watching this movie, if I were a feminist I would probably bring my boom box to the theater.
