The attempts at 'comedy' and 'acting' in this movie too often fall flat and are just embarrassing. The dialogue could have distilled from every bad Hollywood rom-com over the past 40 years.

The 'message' of the movie seems to be that same-sex marriages, as all other marriages, should not only be permissible everywhere, but revered and respected. It takes us 100 minutes to reach that not-exactly-revolutionary conclusion.

Flick (the surprisingly engaging Evelyn Gaynor), is fed up with men and in need of love, so she invites five lesbians to a weekend in the country to see if she herself has lesbian tendencies. That's the premise, if you can call it that. There's certainly an easier way to find out if you're a lesbian, but then there wouldn't be a movie, would there? On this weekend, the lesbians offer us their observations on life, love, sex, men. You've seen similar material more than a few times before. Much of the dialogue for these 'observations' is flat-out cringe-worthy.

If you happen to be a man, you could legitimately call this a stridently anti-male movie bordering on loathing. There isn't a decent or sensible man to be seen, with the possible exception of a brief appearance by Flick's father, and even he is a wimpy object of scorn by Flick's mother. All the other men are idiotic, buffoonish, oafish louts; they 'smell,' and, if you believe this movie, no woman would perform oral sex on a man if it weren't somehow part of a perverse 'duty'.

I wonder how women would react if this 'premise' and these 'observations' were reversed.

I fully agree with both of the above posts.

This one was weak, not erotic, and tried way too hard to be politically correct!

At the very end of the film, for instance, writing appears on the screen saying that the woman's daughter grew up to be a political organizer, a U.S. Senator, and then the president,as if to indicate that she followed in Barack Obama's footsteps. Is that supposed to be a positive thing?
