These ladies have set the bar higher than this for themselves. Yes the movie was fun and funny but it was not what one would expect from these ladies. It was not a sophisticated comedy like one sees at SNL. Yes I know it was not meant to be but these ladies no longer belong to the world of exaggerating comedies such as trees falling on the house and sinkholes swallowing the pool. My 13-year-old really really enjoyed it and yes as a parent I was there for the advice but the question is who the targeted audience was supposed to be? If it was the actresses' generation I don't think it was successful. It might have been successful for a much younger and less sophisticated audience. We saw it the day before Christmas at 2:50 in NYC in the heart of Time Square. The theater was literally empty. Maybe people had better things to do. I don't know.

Just like Mr. Moore's previous works, brilliant, raw and based on the truth and statistics. The contrast was overwhelming and sickening but he finished it on a positive note. That if only we realize we, the people, realize we have all that it takes, we can bring the wall down, one hammer and chisel at a time. But as one of the guys in the movie said we have "a long way to go". He covered all the relevant issues of our today's society, from women's equal pay to nutrition, from student loans to bankers getting away with murder, from criminalization of drugs and its connection to race to police brutality, from an overworked and underpaid society to disappearance of middle class, from capital punishment to mistreatment of the incarcerated, and more....It is eye-opening and educational, to say the least and makes you wonder why we we "go home and are okay" with all of this. Because "nobody should be".
