The Female Brain - Donne vs. Uomini

I liked this movie. It was interesting and entertaining.

This was a good role for Whitney Cummings. I always so her as a comedian, but she manages to explore other acting abilities which I did not see before. A nice surprise.

The main romantic interest between Kevin and Julia works very well. The only problem: I wanted to see more of it, and less the other couples. It is regrettable it was not explored more. In fact, I would have liked to have seen this film just with the main story line, explored properly.

The Vergara / Cole storyline was particularly dull and disappointing; I wish they would have just cut it out from the film. The others were good enough, mildly entertaining, and casting was good (especially Marsden / Punch, which worked well).

Beanie Feldstein is always entertaining, and it was good to see her again.

To summarize, good movie, very watchable. I liked it.

p.s. I am also a man! ;-)

I am a retired neuroscientist. The science here is reasonable albeit simplified, and that works. I watched with skepticism and was initially appalled at the investigator's desire to retest until the data was more suitable. That would be nonsense. But the mea culpa resolved that. This indicates the direction was perfect. I was supposed to be upset (tension), and the tension was resolved with humility and self awareness. Brilliant. Each of the four romances were real, both sides were treated fairly. If I were nitpicking I would say the athlete owes more apology but that is the point really. We live with flawed people. We are flawed. Best line: " Jet lag is a social construct". Hilarious.

When reading the synopsis, I think to myself, "Okay, a cute romantic comedy with a bunch of actors/actresses I like. I'll watch it." The first five minutes alone really caught my attention with all of the interesting information about the male and female brains while showing you scenarios that you think to yourself THAT IS SO TRUE lol This movie was really cute and Whitney did a good job putting this one together.

I really like Whitney Cummings and I enjoyed the movie as well. I'm sad to see the poor reviews. I think it was informative and well acted. It was great to get all that information and still be entertained. I was never bored and I found it interesting and amusing.

I'm really not sure why this film isn't getting better reviews here. It may not be an Oscar contender, but I think it was far more clever, witty, relatable and interesting than any other rom com I've seen in a while.
