Candy Coated Misogyny

Rating: 3/10 (17 March 2013)

really enjoyable film, sweet and full of feel good, plays to the paternal protective v's rebellious stoner genotype. for a feel good film about a girls coming of age it manages to totally ignore her as a character. the focus is on the father - prospective son-in-law bonding and the female character gets lost in the protective fuzz. while I walked away feeling happy I couldn't let go of the fact the supposed main character's role was to be an instrument for the male leads, to explore their ownership. is this guy good enough for my daughter? can I trust him patriarchal ego stroking I am worried that I liked it. I wonder if the writer has a religious heritage, while seeming to rebel against dogmatic culture and encouraging creative independence it surreptitiously disempowers the gurl
I am annoyed at myself for liking this.
