Well said. It's about time people acknowledged that 'chasing one's dreams' often costs money.

Yeah, I'm half white and half Hispanic, but I suppose I identify as white, and speaking from that perspective, I'm not too personally offended by anything Schumer says. There are various reasons why I may be marginalised or mistreated by society but it's certainly not because I'm a, effectively, white man. So, I…

Feig has, and can, do better. Bridesmaids is still one of the best comedies of this decade. I even found the whole dress shop mishap hilarious, and I usually detest gross-out humour.

^ This was actually a half-assed defence of racism. It illustrated the normalised ethnic bigotry that Latinos face daily.

It's a shame one feels the need to preface any remotely critical comment of Schumer with "it's not because she's a female/I'm a sexist", but it somehow seems necessary, even where one is, quite reasonably, calling her out on racism, xenophobia, and the type of crudity and obnoxiousness one wouldn't tolerate in a man…

It's bizarre how much Schumer and Trump have in common in view of her vocal contempt for his supporters.

But this is the irony. You say that people are erroneously complaining about being branded as sexists for criticising Schumer, and yet you both open your posts by arguing that any criticism of Schumer is de facto 'sexism'.

You'd take Seen No Evil, Hear No Evil over Brewster's Millions?

On one hand, you're spot on. On the other hand, as Annie Towne suggests, maybe it's just as well for their own sake. But conversely, perhaps a female director could have made this apparent POS actually work.

Yeah, you'd think she was the type to actively court controversy by making explicitly racist Tweets, right?

100% agreed. This is why I kept telling people on both sides of the debate to wait and see the film before making a judgement. That said, now I have seen it my issue is with those individuals (including one or two professional critics) who still insist anyone who didn't like it/prefers the original, is somehow a…

Isn't the concern that if this individual voices an honest opinion they might be liable to be accused of sexism? It's one thing to openly disagree with someone, quite another to be accused of bigotry for doing so.

It's a pretty misogynist and sexist (see ASAIW's comment above) film when you think about it (although, to be fair, so was The Taming of the Shrew, on which it's based), but I guess it somehow gets a big pass because it offers a big role to Goldie and some women get a kick out of her high-and-mighty act, even though…

She has always been rich. Chuck Schumer is a close relative. It's not as if she came from a hardscrabble rags-to-riches background.

What do you mean by 'both sides'?

Now that's an endorsement!

Best part for me: Kate McKinnon dancing to DeBarge.

Are they?

No. I know that's the hip thing to say, but no. And I say that as someone who has seen Ghostbusters 2 several times since he was 9, and is not simply talking from some rose-tinted nostalgia haze.

No, let's instead serve the narrative that it one can only dislike the film if one is an irredeemable misogynist man-child stuck in the 1980s.
