Having seen the trailers I can honestly say I wasn't expecting a great deal, however I went along anyway to see what the full film would add to the rather damning trailers.
Unfortunately the film really didn't hold very much water, it had the 4 actresses which didn't really gel together with the chemistry not really hitting the mark.
We had every single male character portrayed as either a complete moron or as creepy or as some kind of evil character.
The jokes in the film were not very funny and the stereotypical lines given to some characters were offensive to say the least.
To top it all off if there wasn't enough sexism and gender bias in the film already, they then had the final boss being fought by you guessed it being shot in the groin.
Overall I think this film has been a huge disappointment. Every time a film gets given the opportunity to make use of female talent in a positive way, all we seem to get is a massive over reaction by feminist writers to spread hate, sexism and stereotypes. Is it any wonder so few people want anything to do with feminism these days when this is the type of film that gets produced when directors listen to them.
The Heat (same director) was also guilty for a lot of the same flaws this movie and even ironically ended with the same sexist attack with the villain of that film being shot in the groin as well.
I genuinely hope this film suffers as a result of the sexism and a lesson is learned here.
