Eastern Europe is...kinda not like the movie


I love the movie, and though it stereotypes the heck out of both Americans and Eastern Europeans, I might like to point out a few things:

1. 80% of Eastern European women and teenage girls are not very plain looking milkmaid in a french village type of chicks. Most are quite pretty and very hot. They dress in all colors of the rainbow and are actually pretty chic. The whole ''Europe is ahead of us in fashion by a year or two'' does extend to the far eastern ex soviet countries and the like. No one is wearing frocks with aprons lol.In many major cities in Eastern Europe, Fran would actually be underdressed.

2.Most citizens are just normal people that respect capitalism and socialism, and want decent business and work opportunities, and are not in love with communism.

3. Not everything is in 50 shades of blue.

4.Young folks are actually pretty well aware of American pop culture, and a lot of other pop culture from many other countries.

5.The food is actually pretty tasty, and the produce is very good quality.

6.Most people are warm and helpful if you are in a tight spot, and the scowling is very much overdone in this movie.


I love this movie, but the Eastern European stereotypes are wild lol.
