Highway Robbery Chick Flick, 14 December 2001
Author: (mwilson122@hotmail.com) from Fort Lauderdale, FL

You've gotta be kidding me. You call this dreck "fun"? The last morsel of understanding I still had in me for chick flicks went straight outta window 10 minutes into this one. Wife made, no, forced me, to watch this here crap with her last night on HBO and I hafta tell ya, one has to start wondering what exactly is the message, if there is one? Is it that women should take all the crap from their men, then go back to them? Or is it that one should not trust the judgement of a Brazilian woman? Or, that intelligence is no substitute for sleazy men? Oh, come on, for heaven's sake, do the world a favor and sack this brain cell lacking flick already!
