Male wet dream

Rating: 2/10 (20 August 2004)

Like watching one egomaniac teenage boy's wet dream of life: you are Bruce Willis, the only man in the universe who is not a quivering, whimpering coward; naturally, you're the only one capable of saving a futuristic world in which even the McDonalds employees have the cleavage of porn stars; the only other guy in town who gets any chicks, strangely enough, has stereotypically gay mannerisms; and you are entitled to (as your prize for saving the world) the Perfect Woman: who is gorgeous and sweet and has, literally, the innocence of a child. If the movie passed itself off merely as a goofy comedy, this sexism wouldn't bother me- however, the fusing of crude humor with attempted seriousness about love and saving the world leaves a nasty taste in your mouth.
