Is it ok for men to like this movie?


A friend recommended this movie to me. I'm considering buying the DVD, but just want to make sure, is this a movie that is ok for men to like? Or is it more of a girl's movie? (I'm a man btw)

reply

You bet it is! It's one of the few movies that really walks that line well. It's equally appealing to men and women, boys and girls. It's got sword fights and wrestling and torture and battles of wits, but also true love and bffs and an adorably hateful old couple. It's got everything.

I'm a 31 year old, heterosexual male and this is my favorite movie. I also did not need to ask a stranger's approval if it is okay for me to like it. In fact, I have no qualms about saying that I enjoyed any of the following movies:

The Princess Diaries
A Walk to Remember
Sweet Home Alabama
Bridget Jones's Diary
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
When Harry Met Sally

and hundreds of other movies.

"Gender roles are wretched." I would totally wear that on a tee shirt.

Someone should sell those shirts because I'd definitely wear it as well.

You are correct: Gender roles are for pussies!

Most of those are chick flicks though. This one isn't really.

If you have to ask, then you're no man. ;)
Seriously, it's okay. Delightful film, just don't dance with your hands above your head and you'll be all right.

Imagine that.

You shouldn't have to ask strangers on the internet if its okay for you to like this movie. I like "guy" movies just as much as I like "girl" movies. Just like whatever you wanna like. Don't listen to people that say guys should only like "guy" movies, and girls should only like "girl" movies. Because its bullsh*t. I am a girl btw lol

Its not okay for men not to like this movie. I recommnded it to one of my coworkers not to long ago and he was like, woah... I got three sons. We don't watch anything with Princess in the title. I thought that was *beep*

reply

A man doesn't need to ask what he can like.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

Should be higher on the list of top movies. Its so hard to classify as any type of movie which makes it truly one of a kind. Its got a love story at the center, but all the dialogue is comedic, and the plot advances mostly through action and adventure. Everyone young and old, boys and girls, can watch this film.

You really are entertaining me Mr. Stranger.
