No pun intended - we have come a long way, but we also have a long way to go. Sometimes it does help going back and investigate what happened before - to try to avoid making the same mistakes again and again. Women do have it hard - and quite a few issues that are being pointed out here are very important ... but is it necessary for men in the now to teach our main character about this? Maybe yes, maybe no - let's not focus on that, because that is a how do you feel about it? Question .. what we can focus on: the movies handling of it all ... by making fun of it.
It is in the eye of the beholder - does it make sense for and to you? Is it funny enough while still being able to carry the very important message? Are the cliches handled ok? Is the main character way too annoying? It is a bit like Christmas Carol ... just a Feminist Carol - I reckon that is what some would call it. Again, I do not try to make this a good or bad thing - it is what it is. And as I said, there is a lot more work to do ... there is a lot more way we have to go, before there is equality ... hopefully we will get there ... not sure if I'll be alive to watch it happen.
