This took all my years of film training not to turn it off within the opening ten minutes and it never improved. In fact if I was a woman I’d be offended that this is the sort of shit Hollywood tries to shove in my face in the name of entertainment. It’s a horrible excuse for a film in every conceivable way from its excruciatingly unfunny attempts at humour to its ultra-conservative message (notice which couple suffer from a miscarriage - no doubt punishment for getting pregnant from a one night stand).

for some reason, Netflix thought I would like this movie. the only way possible I could ever not viciously hate this movie is if within the first 30 seconds, everyone gets set on fire and dies.
go home, netflix. you're drunk.
