In which I am a humorless feminist
Does anyone else think that This Means War is a terrible idea for a movie? I admit I haven't seen it, but I can think of no way the film could redeem its premise. Two guys fight over a woman that they're both dating? (And who doesn't know that they know each other.) No, wait, I lied. There is one way and only one way: she reasonably is fucking pissed that they spied on her (using CIA gadgets no less), lied to her, and treated her as a prize to be won rather than a person and dumps them both. As one can see from the wikipedia description, this isn't what happens.
Maybe, like some of the full of fail things I like, the movie is somehow better than its premise. Maybe I'd even enjoy it if I turned off my critical side (I do like some horribly sexist things). But I just stare at the premise and boggle.
