Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Sadly Over-hyped

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Tried watching this on Netflix, it was fun, and you can really see how men are all worked up when women are powerful, successful, and when they know what they're doing.I love how the film started but along the way in that part where they're building their relationship I got bored then the plot twist in this film shocked me. I'm kinda amazed on how the writer played the characters.Hands down to Renee - her voice was so charming and sexy.8.4/10 -- WILL RECOMMEND TO MY FEMINIST FRIENDS

This film redeems itself through the aesthetic stylized qualities of the actors and the screenplay with a beautiful sense of rhythm. It is an out- and-out romantic film. It shows the dilemma of both chauvinist and feminist agendas of the 1950s/60s in the way that both positions must concede they are indispensable to each other, this causes temporary performed rejection of the emotional and institutional ends of socialized flirting/mating rituals i.e. "i don't need you to feel this!", ;and, "i want to work". The female must conciliate a position by which feminism first achieves and then transcends masculinity (owning sex-initiation, ex- love) but must capitulate when the opposite sex also does surrender to the all-encompassing oxytosin that requites and seals the necessity of love. The script is brilliant, i commend the write despite the other films they have done. I truly believe this should be 8.5 on IMDb.

Renee Zellweger is absolutely adorable, too cute to be the feminist pioneer who has changed the world, and yet she has. There's no reason not to like her if you're watching the movie, though male characters in the movie have plenty of reasons not to like her. I've never seen "Mad Men" but I can tell this is a "Mad Men" type of world.David Hyde Pierce overacts nicely and does a great job with an uptight character similar to Dr. Niles Crane. He does seem gay but won't admit it. Since this movie was made, the actor has come out, though that's irrelevant because he can still play a character who claims to be straight.Ewan McGregor does a great job too. He actually has two roles--the confident and conceited playboy reporter Catcher Block and the naive Southerner who became the astronaut Maj. Zip Martin. It's a clever scheme by Block, actually.Tony Randall has a brief but satisfying role. I have many fond memories of him. He shows his age here, but this was surely one of his last roles.Florence Stanley, who seemed to be everywhere years ago, has another brief but memorable role as the wife of a dry cleaner. She's tired of being a second-class citizen, and her husband has trouble standing up to her now.A big part of the comedy is double entendres worthy of "Are You Being Served?" and particularly that show's spin off "Grace and Favour". Dialogue so naughty it should earn the movie an R rating is actually perfectly innocent if you know exactly what the words mean. I'm thinking in particular of one poor secretary.There's not a lot of physical comedy here, but one of the funniest scenes involves Peter's date with Vicky and an accident with a sofa.The music is great. But of course it would be; this is 1962, when music still sounded like music except for that annoying rock and roll that was becoming more and more mainstream at the time (and this movie has some of that, but it's not bad). So many songs sound like they were recorded in the big band era, but that was a great time for music.And the cars! Lots of nice cars from back when cars had personality.Barbara and Vicky both wear such gorgeous outfits. I would even say sexy in a couple of cases.I have one problem: a plot twist that involves an extremely long monologue. It doesn't have a negative effect on the movie, as it turns out, but it was kind of a letdown. Nothing really changes, though, because the movie gets back on track. This is a real winner.

Thought it might be interesting to read reviews, got through a dozen or so, and concluded IMDb's users, at least in this case, might be as well informed as tea party activists. This sendup of helen gurley brown's Sex and the Single Girl was about as good as light hearted as tongue-in-cheek sendups get. And since the original was in the genre of its remake (read Brown's notes in the New Yorker and Vanity Fair), you can find it a clever period hoot. But you'll have to get past your cliché blinders. No Doris Day, no Rock Hudson - the principals are Natalie Wood and Tony Curtis. Blonde hair and Anglo-American accoutremente don't change that.That's all folks. Enjoy a reprise of the reagan administration,oh, and Check out 'bonzo' and 'death valley days' if you wonder where all that Leadership talent started.
