Aw, come ON! (Just maybe spoilers)

It's not THAT bad. Yes, it's probably very cliché, but it's supposed to be. It played with stereotyping, it showed - in ways that could have been a lot clearer and less "haha, funny" but wasn't because that wasn't the movie they wanted to make - the problems of lesbian couples being seen as COUPLES by most of their surroundings and constantly having to defend their relationships, wherever they go. You could probably (and maybe should) make a drama out of that feature, but this wasn't the movie for it. So they made it a laugh, but eh... *I* got the point. As another cliché, when someone acts and moves and talks like the biggest alpha-male in the world, it doesn't automatically make them a bad person. My brother used to wear all black, chains and big metal-covered boots and studs and has tats all over this body, no hair on his head but a big manly beard. He's the friendliest, most helpfull person you could find, and he had a laugh when people feared he'd eat their babies. Still - people crossed the road when he walked past. Overall, it was funny and a bit sad, but enjoyable to watch, but you should really not expect anything award-worthy. I agree with posters before that there wasn't that much chemistry between the leads, but if I want to watch light entertainment, I really don't care that much. I just play pretend that we get the chemistry behind closed doors.
