I'm not the biggest Reese Witherspoon fan, but she typically does a good job so the lady friend and I gave this a go. The first half hour was fantastic and we were both engaged. Then it all changed...
To me, this came off as one big political statement, and I really can't stand when movies do that to me. After the film I went and looked into this lady's background a bit, and sure enough it just confirmed my suspicions.
I'm as pro-woman as any man I know, and I have practiced what I preach for over a decade as an RN...but I really dont' like feeling as if someone was using my entertainment to push their agenda on me...regardless of what it is. It takes me completely out of the film and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Just my opinion, though...
