"Do You Want a Massage?": Traditional Gender Roles


For a SF movie, the gender roles are antiquated and disgusting. "Do you want a massage?" and the girl laughs. WTF, man. This is sexual harassment. She has a fiance. And he keeps on trying, "Are there creatures in your bedroom?"

And the way the male actor lisped throughout the movie, like it's male bravado. OMG, go to *beep* speech therapy. Stop acting like a teenager when he's in his 30s.

The leads have no chemistry between them.

The idea of the movie is fantastic. It could have been a 8, but the acting and traditional gender roles make this a 4/10 for me.
