In a moment of breath taking honesty, in a Time magazine movie review, a woman admits how some women treat men in relationships when they get disappointed, going "crazy" when they are disappointed. Even admitting the man is "almost always framed [by society] as the villain when a relationship doesn’t work out, even if he’s just made a clueless mistake." and that "women can go off the rails when their expectations aren’t met." Below are some highlights from the article.

But during a moment in which Isaac is, for reasons that shouldn’t be given away, particularly vulnerable, Iris blurts out how confident she feels about the future of their relationship. That’s how she learns that Isaac doesn’t consider their “thing” a relationship at all. He thinks they’re just having fun.

Iris, who’d previously seemed mostly sweet, goofy, and crazy in the fun way, suddenly comes off as crazy in the not-so-fun way, certainly in Isaac’s eyes. He’d merely told her the truth, but in doing so, he’d crushed her expectations. As he tries to explain himself, her reaction becomes more extreme. Their romantic weekend becomes an outright hostage situation, played for laughs. Even French toast becomes a kind of weapon.

Brooks and Gordon are having a good laugh at the way women can go off the rails when their expectations aren’t met. They’re also sympathetic to the nature of romantic dreams—we can’t help hoping for a happily-ever-after, even when we know better. But Oh, Hi! is also attuned to the way the guy is almost always framed as the villain when a relationship doesn’t work out, even if he’s just made a clueless mistake. Women are supposed to be more sensitive, more caring, maybe even smarter than men. That doesn’t mean we can never be wrong.

Oh, Hi! is outlandishly funny, but it’s ultimately an unsentimental film. If we convince ourselves that our own feelings are king, are we making enough room for the feelings of others?
