I was going nuts because I seemed to be the only person on the planet who found the movie problematic. Countless friends whose opinions I trust failed to see anything at all wrong with the film, and I was shocked that the reaction hasn't been stronger. I enjoyed the movie too, but I think your final sentence captures it completely: "The movie uses feminist language and ideas, but it fails at actually portraying different types of women in respectful ways. Instead, it falls back on stereotypes." THANK YOU. I was going nuts because I seemed to be the only person on the planet who found the movie problematic.
