  • Gender issues? Discomfort? Huh?

    It doesn't make me or anyone I know uncomfortable, it's just predictable. Like a sight gag in an old movie that is set up too long and you see it coming, and you see it coming and oh, there it is, oh gee, this is the part where the audience is supposed to laugh.

    Hackneyed to the point of insult, but it doesn't seem to hurt them at the box office!
