A friend dragged my other friend and me to this hyped flick. It was supposed to be about women and relationships among women (mother, daughter, sister) and such. A good chick flick, it sounded like to my friend. She has never done anything like that since. >[
So ok...it has Diane Keaton as the mother with three daughters in a secular Jewish family that just happens to be WASPy (gotta appeal to a broad audience, y'know). Their last name was Wilder but it should have been Sluttinsky. They were supposed to be Christian/Catholic New Englanders, but I know a New York Jewish family when I see one.
It was all about making sure the ladies get laid regularly, and it wasn't titillating, sexy or funny. Ostensibly the plot is about Mama finding a mate for her unmarried daughter because daughter ******** around a lot but can't seem to keep a man. Mama has no man so interferes with daughter's life. There is a melodramatic moment where Mama reminisces about a bad sex life with the girls' father, in an attempt to get the viewer's blessing for Mama ******** an elderly man. I have just made the movie sound a lot more interesting than it looks.
If you are a man, you will hate it for making men villains and idiots. The husbands of the other two girls are servants, basically neutered. That's the future of the other men. Really makes marriage seem attractive, doesn't it. If you are a woman, you will hate it because the message is that women are free to sex it up and get their main intimacy from female relationships, yet something is wrong with you if you don't get married. Make up your mind, movie!
Oh, and for some reason the producers thought a five year old running around saying, "p***s, v****a," repeatedly was cute and endearing. Especially if said child is redhaired and freckle faced. And without a mother, boohoo, boohoo. If I want to see children chatting about genitalia I will go to Gaia's Chatterbox or any other non-strict children's forum. And it still won't be cute.
Worst part for me was the horrid way they showed the bonds between the women. Whenever one was about to get ********, during, or after, she called the others and they had a four-way conversation about the man's p***s. "His hotdog, well, it has a bun," to describe one man's uncircumcision. So, ******** was important, but Mommy and Sissies are even more important. Ok, we get it. This is why the daughter was unmarried, obviously.
Blah...I have hurt my brain just remembering this piece of crap.
