Bifocal Reviews by Ageless1der Barbara Rich & The Other
Guy
(BR) I
can make this brief. This one was totally a chick flick, a no-brainer that I
saw with my daughter for a girls-night-out. It is not for the men-folk. In
fact, there was only one man-folk in
the theater at the time we watched this one. He didn’t leave, but the movie is
particularly degrading to men. I certainly hope that all men are not like the
cheating husband in this film. Cheating husband? This guy was cheating on his
wife AND three other mistresses! The only good
guy in the movie is a Chicago
Fire regular (Taylor Kinney), who not only single-handedly restores
faith in male-kind, but is easy on the eyes. I cannot say it was a great film.
It was predicable, but enjoyable. Movies like this give the gals a couple of
laughs. I cannot, however award more than two binoculars out of five. I
recommend it as part of a dinner and a movie (less than two hours) with the
gals.
(OG)
Thankfully, I was not required to see this movie with Barbara and was
mercifully replaced by our daughter. So, I have no opinion about it, other than
the one instilled in me by my wife. Reading what she wrote, all I can say is:
Whew! That was a close one.
