Bekkah:

This movie is like everything I hate. Except for the fucking all star cast. How can Jeff, Julianne Moore, Joan Cusack, and Robin Williams go SO WRONG???? Being childfree is an important part of who I am and this movie was just so gross in the ways they handled Hugh Grant (who I did not list in my all star cast) not wanting a kid. But also UNLIKEABLE EVERYONE. TOXIC MASCULINITY GALORE. HORRIBLE RELATIONSHIP MODELS. SEXISM EVERYWHERE. At least we got one deep V from our mostly unlikeable Jeff, who did look great in this movie. He wore a leather vest in one scene, because San Francisco is too warm for leather coats, I guess. Rotten Tomatoes listed this movie at 24% and I was like “with this cast, it can’t be that bad!” but it was. I have nothing more to say.

Danya:

One thing that doing JGMC for close to 21 months has taught me is that slapstick comedy is just. not. funny. I don’t care if you’re running around a restaurant or wrestling a doctor in a delivery room, it bores me. In the venn diagram of slapstick and toxic masculinity there is a lot of overlap in the gratuitous violence and humorless misogyny sections. So anyway, Julianne Moore was luminous, but also a terrible communicator. Hugh Grant was good at nothing. Not being a child therapist, not being honest, not getting places on time, NOT EVEN ROLLERBLADING. He was talentless. Robin Williams really exploited the xenophobia of the 90s, but Jeff, darling Jeff, was still adorable. He downgraded from his leather blazer to a leather vest, but who can blame him? It’s hot out there.

Chris (guest review):

“Good thing you aren’t making me write a guest review because this is just so bad, I don’t know what to say.”
