This is not funny.

Samurai007_ · 2013-12-22T04:23:19+00:00

Here's the imdb page for it, and you can watch the trailer there: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2203939/

From what I can tell, the story is this... A lawyer is married to Leslie Mann, he secretly begins dating Cameron Diaz. Cameron and Leslie accidentally meet and discover his cheating, so they decide to team up and get revenge on him. They try to get him fired from work and they secretly poison him with female hormone chemicals normally only given to a transexual. In the process, they discover that he has been cheating on both of them with an even hotter woman, Kate Upton. They bring Kate into the conspiracy in order to REALLY get him back. Nikki Minaj sings the theme song "He's Goin' Down".

The whole thing seems like women's revenge porn.

I wonder if there will be a movie called "the other man" she will never know what hit her.

giegerwasright · 2013-12-22T07:37:11+00:00

Well. It isn't necessarily not funny. The issue here is this; it's hypocritical. You know the game. Swap the genders. Now we have protestors on the white house lawn. Those same fucking protestors who are right now shouting "you go girl!" when they see this graphic.

That's actually the problem. Whether or not it's funny is arguably rather subjective.

Steampunk_Moustache · 2013-12-22T04:27:01+00:00

This isn't real, is it?

There isn't high budget, mainstream media production glamourizing violence against husbands, is there?

Oh god, there is.

Watch the trailer for some truly despicable, rage inducing levels of misandry. Flip the genders in this movie and this wouldn't be considered a comedy, it would be considered exactly what it is; torture porn and violent fantasy.

stemgang · 2013-12-22T04:52:37+00:00

In movies, they always approve of women's violence against men.

SporkTornado · 2013-12-22T06:28:11+00:00

I dislike the double standard that violence against men is glorified but violence against some is some terrible thing that you can't even joke about, and if you dare laugh at a joke about violence against women then you are a mysogonist. But I think the most important issue for mrm is getting equal treatment in family courts. I don't think we should sink to the petty level of radfems and try to call a boycott on every piece of media we find offensive.

HalfysReddit · 2013-12-22T15:55:10+00:00

You're right OP, it's not funny, but that's largely due to the fact that it's just a humorless joke rather than a joke reliant on biased interpretations of violence.

Zombie_Dog · 2013-12-22T19:04:35+00:00

The real test is if you did a complete gender swap of the intended scenario and see how people react.

"Three guys find out that a girl is cheating on them and they conspire physical and emotional abuse against her to teach her a lesson."

I can't imagine the uproar at a plot as hurtful and inappropriate a subject as domestic abuse being portrayed as a comedy.
But I guess calmly confronting a person like an adult about cheating isn't going to make 20th Century Fox any money.

Always good to see domestic violence still being used for entertainment long past it being funny anymore.

Oh someone please photoshop this for gender reversal. So I can post this on Facebook. I would do it myself but I honestly don't know the first thing of Photoshop.

Heromedic18 · 2013-12-22T14:12:47+00:00

Can you imagine if it said, "She'll never know what hit her", and had the brass knuckles?

Owminator · 2013-12-22T15:02:07+00:00

I think it's funny. Then again, I think it would be funny if the joke was about a man hitting a woman too. Just a fucked up sense of humor I guess.

Durgals · 2013-12-22T04:49:24+00:00

I can see slapping or play fighting being funny. Brass knucks though? That's lethal.

DrunkCupid · 2013-12-22T13:33:53+00:00

You're right, cheating is never funny. :(

continuousQ · 2013-12-22T14:54:13+00:00

It'd probably be a better movie if they just hired a mob guy to kill him.

gsettle · 2013-12-22T17:01:44+00:00

Correct, not funny. It's very discriminatory and demeaning, just on the face of it. BUT, if no one says anything, other than here, nothing will become of it. So, pick up your pens, guys, and storm the gates!

apathos_destroys · 2013-12-22T05:50:07+00:00

Feminist riddled garbage. Even by Romcom standards this is horrible.

InLoveWithKueppers · 2013-12-22T11:08:53+00:00

Maybe it already exists, but I would support a page, that just turns all these kind of things around to see how people would feel about it.

In this case, take Samuel L. Jackson, Brad Pitt and Ryan Goslin; change the poster to "The Other Man" and "She'll never know what hit her", leave that weapon there...it's nice; and change the synopsis to a story about guy finding out he isn't the only one, who teams up with cuckold plots a revenge.

How would everybody like some male on women violence made into a comedy?

2013-12-22T12:05:45+00:00

http://rense.com/general29/anti.htm

On the "Today" show last November, Katie Couric suddenly deviated from perkiness and asked a jilted bride, "Have you considered castration as an option?" Nobody seemed to object. Fred Hayward, a men's rights organizer, says: "Imagine the reaction if Matt Lauer had asked a jilted groom, 'Wouldn't you just like to rip her uterus out?'"

The double standard is rooted in identity politics and fashionable theories about victimization: Men as a group are oppressors; jokes that oppressors use to degrade the oppressed must be taken seriously and suppressed. Jokes by the oppressed against oppressors, however, are liberating and progressive. So while sexual harassment doctrine cracks down on the most harmless jokes about women, very hostile humor about men keeps expanding with almost no objections.

DangerDick26 · 2013-12-22T06:21:36+00:00

I am all for mens rights but i dont think this is a big deal. Im gonna watch this, looks funny. I am a severely abused man (past). Lighten up people and focus on real shit.

jostler57 · 2013-12-22T13:46:01+00:00

Soooo.... this is clearly a train wreck.

It's got a model and a singer, neither of which are actors, acting in a big budget movie.

It's a shitty money grab with a trite plot.

Edit Here's the trailer

SCTetra · 2013-12-22T18:21:17+00:00

As a man, I think this movie would funny.

I'm normally into this subreddit, but this doesn't seem offensive to me. Just a movie.

someonelikegod · 2013-12-22T13:37:28+00:00

Please tell me how this is sexist please? Not defending it, i just don't understand the poster...

guywithaccount · 2013-12-22T05:25:07+00:00

Oh hey, Kate Upton running in a bikini. I'll be searching for clips of that.

IAmTheBauss · 2013-12-22T02:38:52+00:00

I think it's just a movie.

DasDoctor · 2013-12-22T16:51:51+00:00

Yeah this movie just looks like the death of Cameron Diaz's career and the start of a mediocre one for Kate Upton.

This isn't funny because its fucking stupid.

notimeforname · 2013-12-22T21:06:30+00:00

Ok first off seams to me another shitty movie that is going to rely on "stars" to get its fame.

Now I personally I think if you don't like a movie don't go and see it and that is that. Don't go the feminist way and try and bash it because you think its something that its not (check Blurred lines)

2nd from the trailer I think this movie is going to be more about the 3 girls being so different and having to "work together" and I'm almost sure at the end the guys is going to be ok, heartbroken and alone but I doubt any physical damage will be with him at the end of the movie.

Regardless of this I for one do not care about movies and think they have insignificant impact on societies view, or at least on the healthy individuals who can make the difference between movies and reality.

But if you are going to be upset about it at least wait and watch the movie, however I still advise you guys as I advise anyone about anything similar. If you don't like something or do not agree with it, just don't pay attention to it.

The only real problem I see is that feminist who claim to be for equality will surely not have a problem with this movie which is absolutely normal for a lying and hypocritical movement like feminism

TL:DR

Its just a movie, as I've said about feminism before I think its more important to focus on real stories rather then movies, which again every healthy individual can make the difference.

Wait and see it before jumping to conclusions.

2013-12-22T21:11:50+00:00

The premise is waaaaaaaaaaaaay over the line. Wow. I used to like Cameron Diaz, but fuck this.

McFeely_Smackup · 2013-12-22T23:09:03+00:00

How many times is this same sad "women's fantasy revenge porn" movie going to be made?

I_DOXX_CATS · 2013-12-23T01:31:28+00:00

You guys can be just as humorless as the radfems. Yuck.

kragshot · 2013-12-23T04:48:17+00:00

It's kind of like a reverse "She's Got To Have It"...oh wait. No it it isn't. In "She's Got To Have It," all of the men were kind of cool with the situation between themselves and the sole female.

aaxxsed · 2013-12-23T09:11:59+00:00

Well... let's not be those bitches who cry "THAT'S NOT FUNNY" all the time. I would like to live in a world where both jokes aren't censored.

Pickle_WeasIe · 2013-12-23T13:34:50+00:00

Really hit a person with gold do people know nothing? All though I think in the real world that would increase your chance of being robbed...

Hirudin · 2013-12-24T00:30:31+00:00

While the MRM should never be in support of any kind of censorship, this movie is a good example to be kept in one's back pocket in case of an argument about media sexism.

In an alternate universe this movie would be a "lighthearted comedy" about a guy slipping his girlfriend some abortion pills after he discovers she slept with another guy.

Bodertz · 2013-12-22T06:38:33+00:00

Are you offended that this exists, or that the reverse doesn't?

ThePigmanAgain · 2013-12-22T09:55:50+00:00

Christ, don't tell me i'm going to have to start hating Kate Upton now!?!? Are there any women in the media who aren't total assholes?

On the other hand, maybe the female characters in the movie will all come across as psychos. One can hope.

X1342666 · 2013-12-22T06:45:42+00:00

Oh god this is an actual movie.

rhunex · 2013-12-22T02:49:53+00:00

I didn't lol but it is a little bit amusing.

xdrunkagainx · 2013-12-22T02:15:39+00:00

No, but it sure looks cool.

qtyapa · 2013-12-22T08:07:36+00:00

So I was watching EDtv movie today and in one of the scenes Ellen Degenres outs her boss as having a artificial penis in order to shame him and this was projected as a funny victorious moment in the movie.

EdgarFrogandSam · 2013-12-22T08:38:33+00:00

Have you seem the movie?

Akesgeroth · 2013-12-22T13:16:46+00:00

It's funny. The issue here is that we should be offended when it's the other way around.

FuriousMouse · 2013-12-22T15:08:17+00:00

[permanently deleted]

CaptnQwark · 2013-12-22T05:34:22+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's just an image to go along with the tagline haha, chill out and don't take it so literally.

butts_ahoy · 2013-12-22T04:23:04+00:00

js the movie is about 4 women that the guy is cheating on all at the same time and they plot to destroy him financially by outing the fact that he's stealing from his partners in whatever big business embezzlement crap he's up to. not beating him to a pulp and glorifying domestic violence. ollies outie

vkob · 2013-12-22T04:34:01+00:00

It is. Women are the physically weaker sex so them abusing us is funny but not the other way around. It's not fair but it's life. It's best to take this shit with a smile and leverage our strengths instead of being keyboard warriors, never achieving anything

Title	This is not funny.
