Sucker Punch
The best way to get women to feel comfortable being inside of a mental institute is to design it after a shopping mall.
Unfortunately, the architects of the female nuthouse in this fantasy went with the more oppressive blueprints.
Admitted to Lennox House by her sadistic stepfather, Babydoll (Emily Browning) plunges into insanity after she's scheduled to be lobotomized.
To avoid life in a vegetative state, she and her fellow female residents (Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone, Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung) participant in nightly campaigns, headed up by a sagacious spirit (Scott Glenn), that takes them through otherworldly motifs, in search of five items that will help them escape.
With scantly-clad girls massacring samurais, dragons, and Nazis, this multi-level metaphorical mess is a meaningless meander through an adolescent male's wet dream.
Besides, most of the crazy women inside a mental institute are only there because they suffer from being a woman. (Yellow Light)
