I watched this movie recently and tried my best to make sense of it all:
An oblique glimpse at white privilege and the conditions that create and perpetuate it
Capitalist ideology disguised as a tale of one woman who leaves marketing to become an artist.
Another story that attempts to answer the question "Can a man and a woman 'just be friends'?"
Parody of Woman's Magazine culture
Post-feminist re-appropriation of the harlot figure
Post-feminist ironic re-appropriation of the harlot figure
Parochial, counter-progressive presentation of women as flighty, impulsive and unintelligent
Sensitive portrayal of the complex male-female dynamic
Sensitive portrayal of the complex me-and-my-vagina dynamic
Comedic portrayal of one bimbo's stupidity
A comment on the saying, "When a man sleeps around, it's OK. When a women sleeps around, she's a slut."
A comment on the saying, "When a man sleeps around, it's OK. When a women sleeps around it's also OK and she will never get STDs."
A comment on the saying, "When a man sleeps around, it's OK. When a women sleeps around, she gets to write a book about it and earn royalties from the movie adaptation."
A journey scuttling back and forth between urban and pastoral, chaos and order, displacement and home, man and woman, mother and daughter, attachment and entitlement, art and life, work and play, green eggs and ham, Tiffany & Co., night and day, bleh and bleh, M & Ms, P's & Q's, etc.
A confused understanding of love and its various hypocrisies
The value of social media considered vis a vis traditional print media
A film with a ridiculous premise that starts off fine then decides to change its tone, because changing its tone is like changing shoes, or hairstyles, or boyfriends, or dogs, you know?
A film with too many characters and too many names
A chick flick that's also a home interiors programme
