I waited for SOMEONE to say that a woman (or a girl) has a right to choose whom to date, if she wants to date. And no means no.
I didn't read any of the other reviews for this movie that received overwhelming reviews because I am certain with all of those positives, I'm not going to see anyone else say, "Hey, when Jonah Hill's character, even before he became TIGHTEN, fixated on Tina Fey's character ROXANNE RITCHI, it was serious (bad), but when he flipped into TIGHTEN, he became a dangerous predator intent on capturing her and making her do what he wants regardless of her wishes."
If this sentence was uttered in the very last scene, it would have saved the whole movie, and would have become a true, empowering, superhero movie: "Women can choose whom to date, just as men can. And men can say 'no' to women. Women say it all the time." (Well, it's a kid's movie, so maybe just the first sentence. But that second sentence is damn powerful too, isn't it?)
