Give Me an A

This movie was basically exactly what you'd imagine. 10 stories, all about abortion, and in every single one, the men are brainless idiots, and the women are powerful geniuses.

It's not a terrible message, I believe very young women would probably benefit from some of the messages, but it's just so hamfisted. By the third or fourth story, you get it. Men are demons and women are angels. I would have liked to see a little variety, but it really is just an hour and forty minutes of man hatred.

Instead of giving this video to a young person to learn some values, please consider having a talk about respecting everyone instead of preaching hatred, and that all people of a given group are simply evil morons with no other possible personality traits.

Most anthologies are a mixed bag, so this observation isn't really a compliment or a criticism. The main problem I had was that, overall, the anthology was just a bit...dull. Well-made shorts, for the most part, but I found myself taking multiple breaks while watching because, in toto, it just wasn't holding my attention. A couple got my attention for negative reasons -- despite knowing the basic premise of the anthology, I could figure out what they were trying to convey, or even what was happening. One, "DTF," stood out because it was amusing, if a bit predictable. Overall, though, most of them just kinda happened and I just kinda happened to watch, and I finished it with the feeling that I hadn't wasted my time but I also hadn't really felt like it was worth the time either.

A couple extra notes. One, I'm a straight male Gen Xer, so that obviously had an impact on my viewing and my review. Two, if you're one of those men who feel like men are being oppressed for some reason, you'll probably just be angry and resentful watching a few of the shorts. Personally I think you should just get over it, accept that the world doesn't revolve around you, and watch this movie with an open mind. But if that's not possible, you should probably skip this movie and watch something that won't upset you. Why upset yourself unnecessarily?
