You know, there are no movie reviewers that I have read who are willing to back off their own views enough to be objective.

If this crosses out of freep, which I hope it will, then there will be at least one review out there which will point out how Ang Lee must be chuckling the whole way to the bank.

Of course, Ang Lee may actually believe these crazed stereotypes.

Before anyone writes off Ang Lee, please view his excellent Civil War film, Ride with the Devil. No man-lovin' in that one. Lots of action and a good storyline. Also, avoids Political Correctness by being one of the few Civil War films where the Union soldiers are the bad guys.

Well, it was based on a short story, and from what I have heard it follows the story pretty closely. Ang Lee just put it on the screen.

Ang Lee chuckling all the way to the bank? Hardly. For all the publicity, the movie is not drawing large crowds. Yes it was cheap to make and their margins will be impressive, but to date, I do not believe this movie has grossed $25 million....Even the bomb Rumor Has It has grossed that much.

The truth is most men in America....70% or more? are not going to go see that movie under any circumstance.
