I was at a multiplex to see some other movie (The Saint? I don’t remember) when this came out, and I’ll never forget that they needed to divert us en route to our theatre “because the Austin Powers film lets out here and the audience is...rambunctious.” They literally changed the floor plan of the theatre because

He’ll never be the head of a major corporation.

Eh, I actually think it’s a pretty light-hearted satire of toxic masculinity, myself. I haven’t seen it in years, so I have to imagine there are bits that date the film, but it’s one of the very few films from that era of romantic comedy whose gender dynamics doesn’t immediately make me wince in retrospect. The

Not funny “ha-ha”, obviously.

It’s a mockery of misogyny wrapped in dick jokes. Some of the tropes and particular jokes likely haven’t aged well, but that’s to be expected.

Oral history, baby. Yeah!

Yes! As quotable as any movie ever and the music is perfect. One of my favorite exchanges:

Don’t lose focus. The MOAB isn’t that big of a deal: it’s a large conventional weapon, but it’s not materially different from ten 2,000-pound bombs bundled together.

“To talk him out of doing crazy things.”

It’s what happens when you accept Fox News as actual analysis.

Trump’s utter incompetency is the key to our survival. Luckily he’s too oblivious to learn to do better.

“I kind of pooh-poohed the experience stuff when I first got here,” explained one White House official, “But this shit is hard.”

I misread the headline. I thought this was A Tale of 2 White Broads, and expected these two. But then, they are The Simpleton’s chief advisors.

I don’t agree with this characterization. She basically raised her. It’s not like Caitlyn came into the picture when Khole was on her way out of high school or something. I agree that no one is obligated to continue a relationship with anyone, but it’s really kind of silly to act to characterize Khloe’s relationship
