Only In The Movies…

All the Oscar hype surrounding the surprise hit film Sideways may be missing some significant disapproval from a rather large moviegoing demographic: namely, women. Sideways may be a great buddy film from a guy’s point of view, but the concept plays out like just one more variation on the endless Hollywood theme of disgusting men with no discernible social skills or sense of humor seducing beautiful women who they love and leave with no consequence. “Imagine, if you can, a movie about two unattractive, gross women slobs going on a week-long spree and ending up with Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. Imagine that becoming a hit, nominated for five Academy Awards, acclaimed by critics.”
