Stereotypical gender roles...really?? In the 21st century?


The one thing that really annoyed me about this film was that the women held subordinate roles, whereas the men held the positions of power. Women were secretaries, babysitters, receptionists....the only male who held a subordinate role was a very effeminate gay man!
The one woman who did hold a position of authority was the detective, and she was useless.

I doubt this would be the reality of a dynamic workplace in the 21st century.

Your nascent derivative learned attitude in being a social warrior about gender roles is very trite. Put this thinking along with gender identification politics. This is a fake alarmist attitude that amounts to nothing but hot air. Men and women are different. You've been created that way and Nothing will ever change this. This trendy fad is something else.
