Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
On Friday night I went with two friends to see the new movie Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. I thought is was going to be just a cute chick-flick. I didn't know much about it but it was PG-13 so how bad could it really be right? WRONG! I can not believe that they would let 13 year olds see that movie. It had several scenes that I would call soft porn. Throughout the entire movie the male characters objectified women in action and speech. Women ran around in their underwear throwing themselves as men and this was presented as completely acceptable. I have never been as offended as a woman as I was for the hour of the movie I stayed for. We kept hoping it would redeem itself by saying that behavior was all wrong but it just kept getting worse until we finally left. We asked for our money back and the customer service person said that we are not the first people to complain. Do not see that movie, it is horrible.

I just saw it this weekend, thinking the same thing going into it. But wow...I was shocked too! I understand the point of the movie...the main character is a womanizer who is supposed to undergo this huge change. But they just kept on driving the womanizer aspect! Definitely not the cute chick flick I expected either. Huge bummer.
