Two Million Stupid Women

I suspect the title of the film turns off a lot of people who would otherwise love it. It's not out to bash women, or men, or even people in general. It's just pointing out that people devoted to the hookup culture make bad decisions. It also points out that people trying to play it safe and make the smart decisions can make bad choices too. The three main characters are best friends, and their devotion to each other is admirable, even when there are times when they are pretty upset with each other. The main plot is that Melissa discovers she is being cheated on in the middle of what's supposed to be her drunken birthday celebration. She decides to go through a ritual to get bad men out of her life by confronting them about how they all think she is pathetic. Best friends Anna and Todd are along for the ride, serving as designated driver and moral support. You can tell something is up (if you haven't already) when Melissa says Todd doesn't count as a man and Anna gets flustered. I have to admit, I initially watched this just to see Katy Stoll (who plays Anna) in a movie, after remembering her from several online comedy video shorts. I knew she was capable of doing over-the-top comedy, so it was interesting to see her more restrained and realistic approach here, which fits in with the movie as a whole. The other lead characters were unknown to me but also good. Many characters are absolute scums of the earth, several are good people but flawed in various ways, and one seems uncharacteristically wise, at least when it comes to some stranger's love life. That's probably a pretty fair representation of humanity as a whole. It's worth watching to observe it all go down.
