Tell me something I don't know, 20 August 2005
5/10
Author: Jiji-3 from Montreal, Canada

The move is exceptional in more ways than one, I'd never encountered anything as original. At the same time, it's the most misogynist one I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty. Sexist jokes; demeaning talk; a female antagonist who's "the most beautiful woman in the world" on the outside, but whose true self is evil, twisted and ugly to the last; feminists being portrayed as fat, ugly, raving maniacs - you name it, it's there, and it's by no means there to be mocked at (in case someone was wondering). The fact the movie is a comedy is no excuse - nasty shots at women are often described as "oh come on, it's just a joke" as well but that doesn't make them acceptable. All in all, another potshot at females by a man who's obviously fundamentally intimidated by them. Very interesting to watch no doubt (makes a nice change), but no less typical.
