Thanks for that insight. Other female members have expressed similar sentiment. The women I know who dislike the movie do so for the same reasons as the men I know: It's boring, can't get into the characters, there's no variation or romance, it's nothing but one long set-piece; you know, the same reasons the rest of us like it.

I think the reason we're having so much fun with Midge is that her review was so singularly hateful. It really stands out, even among others who didn't like it.
