All the critics seem to be male, which I find interesting.Here's a female point of view.Maybe not all females have been in the protagonist's shoes, but it is very common for women to have problems with monogamy, just like men. Showing a woman who treats men the way most men treat women is not only realistic, but eye-opening. I think that's the problem most men have with the movie. No one wants to see the shoe on the other foot--it's uncomfortable, but guess what? It's reality.I thought the movie was funny and touching. LeBron James is hilarious as himself.For whoever says there is no real strong story-line? They obviously missed it. It's about maturing, about figuring out what a person's priorities are in life. It's about the realization that compensation isn't all it's cracked up to be.

This movie is like a lot of similar type of movies; meaning movies that aims to challenge preconceived notions of "what a lady should and should't be like". It quickly becomes banal, predictable and irritating. There's no depth of character here, because you sort of get the gist of the jokes before they're halfway delivered. Having said that; these kinds of movies can and have been saved by good performances. Unfortunately Amy Schumer doesn't deliver that. I don't know why scriptwriters and directors hit the same creative pitfalls every time a movie like this is to be made. We get it: here's an urban girl with a modern outlook on life who does what she wants, sleeps with whom she wants and doesn't apologize for it, etc etc.. good, but then what? A movie needs more than just a cliché of a character, predictable jokes and bad acting.

I was so glad to see the SNL cast were involved in this film including Pete Davison, Vanessa Bayer, Leslie Jones and Bill Hader. However I don't understand why they made this film longer because it really did get boring in some scenes.Like any other normal person would do, I just skipped along the way to the near ending. I don't mind Amy Schumer as a person but I thought her jokes were too outdated like I know I only saw her the first time in this movie, but still it was just a little corny reallyI wouldn't consider this a best movie for the SNL cast because pretty much it went downhill for me I'm afraid!
