Makes Women Look Psychotic


Man, I'm not even a feminist or anything but I've never seen a movie with such crazy female characters.

Kim is stalkerish and Anna is restless and super-emotional. Lisa borders on monstrous with her commands and the way he bosses Chris around, and then there's Ariana, who is just portrayed as a bratty unforgiving bitch.

Part of the way into the movie, my sister and I were saying that Jenna was the only normal girl in the movie. And then she couldn't find Michael and became the biggest nightmare of them all. Going so far as to wave a knife around? Come on.

There is not one normal female character in this movie. They're all portrayed as emotional and clingy. I was just wondering if anyone noticed this.

I agree, I think it was unrealistic to make all the women look like freaks and all the men as calm, cool and collected. Jenna turned from sweet and loving into a PSYCHO!!!!!! I am not saying that you need to stay calm when someone cheats on you, but come on, act like an adult.

Do you really think that Braff's character (for example) acted calm, cool and collected when he panicked and nearly destroyed his life because of his anxiety towards "growing up"? If youre a retard and can't see and interpret subtlelties in actions or understand what the characters does shows what they feel even if they don't say it right out you shoudlnt watch these kind of movies.. That goes for all of yall !!

Go watch Conan the barbarian instead.. thats a movie that you will understand

I only thought that Lisa was annoying. Some women (with babies) are really like that though and I could really sympathise with the guy. Oh yeah, the slutty Danielle character is also extreme. And Kim is just a naive teenager ...
I think the characters seemed quite human and authentic and that's what makes a good movie.

reply

Hmm, well ... I just watched it again and I guess you're right: all women are a bit extreme. The men are also caricatures though (the side-characters at least). However, I still liked it, it's a deep movie.

Okay Kim isn't stalkerish... I mean he tried to screw her and leave... i mean for a minute lets think... she may had though they would be together... and the whole mix cd thing i guess was trying to show she still cared for him but sadly she got rejected harshly.

Anna has lived in a very almost platonic relationship. Her husband is a bore and you know she isn't ready to be old but at the same time she doesn't wanna throw away 3 decades of her life.

Lisa basically was what Jenna was worrying about. She thinks she maybe a bad mother and thinks on her own maybe she can't properly take care of their son. She bossed him around cause she wanted a perfect life like most people do.

I don't remember who ariana is...

Jenna basically set us up for what was going to happen when she was reading that magazine. Also, imagine if you just found out you were pregnant and having all types of anxieties especially dealing with the fact a lot of women after having children don't always lose their birth weight and yeah he said it wouldn't matter but he hasn't seen her like that yet. As for the knife again she was betrayed... and cheating on someone especially someone younger than you is a real big deal. It makes you feel old, out of date and no longer appealing...

This is true. This move did not portrait women well.
But I think it's ment that way because it focused on the guys point of view. What they see and how they do not understand.
I can REALLY understand the quoted psychotic behavior of women in this film. They're just desperate the entire move, each for a particular reason, and their partners do not seem to understand at all.
The thing is because the movie focus on the guys point of view we only see that, the psychotic behavier and not the reasons why ther are so desperate to begin with, the thinks that guys do wrong and do not have a clue that pisses us so much.
I kinda liked that because it made me realize how sometimes they're not trying deliberatly to screw with our heads. They actually have no idea what's going on.
Tho it made me feel a little angry at man too!!! I stand by the psychotic girls all the way. But after this maybe I'll try to be a little more patient...!?

.:.:.:. AMOR FATI .:.:.:.

May the TRUTH be OUT THERE.

Yeah that is how they are shown but it is kind of funny that way.

Women are psychotic lol. You're finally being exposed to it lol. This movie shows that you can't have any female friends when you with a woman. She was even pissed before she knew they were doing anything

reply

No she was pissed when she realised that he lied to her by saying he was with a (guy) friend to be with somw other woman for a night.
