Insulting and offensive on so many levels.

I am giving it two stars because I read in more than one source that 1-star and 10-star votes are not counted, or counted with less value.

This is a truly awful movie. I thought it would be light and entertaining but it is neither.

The acting is poor and there is nothing comedic here, only cliché. Worst of all is the juvenile treatment of positions contrary to the left's point of view and their stereotyping of persons who hold such positions. It reinforces the fact that "liberals" are actually the ultra-conservative, closed-minded, intolerant persons they claim to hate and swear they themselves are not. Interesting that apparently only they can be offended; it doesn't seem to bother them to offend their fellow countrymen deeply ... and with such a low-brow, intellectually bankrupt attempt besides.

It's so bad, I thought it was Canadian.

A nice comedy

I really enjoy watching comedy, and even more when the main theme is about something we live everyday. I expected to watch this movie because when I saw the trailer I thought it was a great idea to combine humor with a nice reflection about carrying guns in America. This film offers something new, to laugh and also reflect about some American obsessions. I recommend it because you will have a great time by thinking how far we can get when the desire get in first row rather than doing what everyone else's does. I had a blast watching this film. It's funny and makes us remember the Lennon's line Make LOVE NOT WAR. With a great cast. A comedy that gives a second thought of some of our behaviors.

Had to stop after half an hour...

This is one of those movies that can get a high score because people are voting in the message, instead of the movie itself. Pro gun people vote low and anti gun vote high. That's the only way that (by the time I'm am writing this review) this movie can achieve a score of 7.1. I am completely against guns. But messages aside, this is a horrible movie, full of the worst clichés, bad acting and lousy humor. I rarely stop a movie until it's finished, but this was just impossible to take. It's like the bad kind of B movie, but with good image quality!

It's silly

This film tells the story of a woman who stands up to guns by refusing to have sex with her husband. Soon many more women join her in the fight.

The film is just really silly, but it does offer a few laughs. It is alright brain off entertainment, but don't expect much more than that.

Great date night movie

If you are looking to go to the movies, grab that bucket of popcorn and of course a diet soda and watch a movie that just flows with some very funny moments, a boatload of character actors who we have watched over the years but sometimes have troubles remembering their names and the movies they were in and after the movie is over spending time talking about the challenges the characters faced and discovering more golden nuggets of the story, then grab some friends and see this movie. The story is about our American male love of guns, significant others, family,small town community and others who try to influence our actions in some very funny and awkward situations. I don't want to give away any of my favorite moments, so if this movie is playing in your area, go and enjoy.

Trivia
This plot is loosely based on the ancient Greek play "Lysistrata" written by Aristophanes and first performed in 411 BC. In the play, Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands until they negotiate a peaceful end to the Peloponnesian War.

The play has also had its story updated for movies The Second Greatest Sex (1955), Salvar Davasi (1983) and Spike Lee's Chi-Raq (2015).
