This film is pretty sexist




Just the way they portray Yvette as a whiney moany "trick" that is emotionally dependent on her man, no matter how much he cheats on her and hits her and abuses her. Also the message of the film seems to be, it's ok to f#ck other girls as long as you still love the mother of your child. It was just very sexist. The heart of the film is pretty rotten.

Yeah I know it's realistic, but it seems to condone that behaviour, I dunno, maybe I missed the message.

No the message of the film wasn't that it was OK for him to cheat on her. The message was that he needed to grow up and stop treating her like that.

Correct. The message of the movie was that he needed to grow up and stop behaving like that. The movie certainly did not imply that such behavior was okay.

as others have said that was not the message of the film. you either didn't pay attention or you're just trolling for the sake of trolling. You sound ridiculous
