No Men Beyond This Point

The concept is great. The footage scenes authentic. An Indie film but so what. Enjoy.

Considering it's a fake documentary-style movie, it's somewhat fun.

After seeing the movie "A Boy and His Dog", I noticed a new genre of movies I call one liners. It is where the entire movie is just a setup for the last line said in it. This movie falls in that genre, and the line is very funny, so I give it an extra star over the one star it tries so hard to obtain.

This movie is simply a slam on men. It leaves you wondering how hard the women who made it were dumped to have this level of vitriol in their male stereotypes. That being said, I recommend men watch this movie with their significant others to see their reactions. First off, you will seem a great catch in comparison to the angry sexist characters in the story. But, more importantly, you can see if your potential mate really enjoys the movie and can take it as an indication to run away. Fast.

Full disclosure: I am female but I wouldn't necessarily identify as a feminist - I call myself an 'equalist' (partly because I have both a son and a daughter).

Anyway...I hadn't heard of this film and knew nothing about it beforehand...but I really bloody enjoyed it. I think the first scene I properly laughed out loud was when Andrew was hanging up the women's underwear - I can't remember exactly what he said but that was when I knew this was the sort of comedy that I like.

The casting and acting was perfect. I can't remember the last film I watched where I was so badly rooting for a couple of characters to get together at the end.

I do understand why some folks wouldn't like this film, but for me it is just refreshing to actually something different from most other films. Obviously this was a mockumentary, but it was also a sci-fi film, as well as being a rom-com, of sorts.

Summary: I just thought it was all round clever little film, which was also bloody hilarious. And I would definitely watch it again. Also - I watched it with my other half (male) and he thought it was funny as well, because thankfully he isn't the sort of bloke to feel that his masculinity could be threatened by a film.

I wanted to watch this movie just to see what their overall take on an all female world would be from a completely science fiction standpoint. Also because I wanted to see how outlandishly wrong they would be. I must say that it was humorous in some places and did take an interesting spin on things but ultimately I think the movie was designed, and flavored, to be funny to feminists, liberal/progressive types, or those men who believe everything feminists say about men.

It had some funny moments that I chuckled at but constant pushing of men being stubborn, stupid, lazy, and overall incapable of doing anything that a woman could do better got old. The only "digs" at women were that they weren't very concerned with technological innovation...as a trade off, women achieved world peace and electric cars(?). You can mix in a few other themes such as obvious references to gay marriage and such as well, but primarily, this movie was meant to entertain feminists.
