Contemporary movies (particularly comedies) are dominated by guy stories and fanboy "knock up gorgeous blonde and she'll marry me" fantasies. As well, they are written mostly by men (and young ones at that) who not only resent having to understand women, but don't even want to halfway try. What "women's movies" that are out there are usually patronizing, condescending, reek of "famblee values uber alles" or "view" like the writers have never met real women in their lives. If TV provides a balance to that crap--and fantasies one doesn't have to grit one's teeth to sit through--what's the problem?
