that of the virgin slut / scribo ut destituam

what women want,

im not bsing you,
i fell for it all except for the last scene--where the spell was broken
(& the inevitable penis size discussion--if only guys are obsessed with penis size, why do only flicks written by chicks have such discussion; in fact penis size and ball kicking are my sole litmus tests for IDing chick flicks)

very self indulgent, non sequitur with spirit of movie;
the injected righteousness was unfair,
wouldve been 4 stars (couldve been 5) but for the last scene, which opened my eyes to the imbalence throughout--2.5 stars

nice: in 2nd to last scene he actually quits..., last scene-
leaves house, says thank you, she says will i see you again, he says soon--nice and open

shouldntve been called "what women want"
but "what women wished they wanted"

the female perhaps shouldve been more developed, slow to accept her interest in him under a facaid of bitch-ness instead of being complete at the beginning & acepting

fmaybe not lose ability, but not need it any more, daoist style (could use it but wont--very tomb raider, and ursula--is there a connection?) instead of "oh well" style

maybe he coulda realized he actually could think like a woman as the movie suggested, that the nike work was actually his! maybe he coulda actually quit his job.
maybe the female lead coulda been saved too (which she was literally at the end, of course not expected to be thankful, just self-righteous).
like the rumours about him were true, but he changed,
maybe the rumours about her coulda been true, but he changed her!
