Review of Men, Women & Children (2014) by Ledaumas — 25 Oct 2014

My boyfriend and I see almost every movie that viewers like, whom we've learned know what constitutes an entertaining movie, instead of tearing a movie apart as if the critics can write good screenplays.

So if we're entertained, the movie gets a 10. This movie was not entertaining, it was educational, and we don't go to movies to get educated. Yet the different multiple stories did ingeniously show how the internet affects our life and how both parents and teenagers often use it for the same reason, sex.

If they could reedit this movie and take out the parent's stories and just leave the teenagers stories and their idea of sex, teenagers should be forced to see this movie at school. It will make them question their behavior on the internet and how sex is misused.

The stories were told well, the characters believable, and I've seen those same situations occur first hand between males and females whether young or old. The adult situations could have used more humor, as we should know better, and have no excuse for acting stupid.

The teenage situations were heartbreaking where most of the time, the adults didn't help them much. I know this film won't be able to find an audience. It was too true to life. But I do want to say, the film showed a great way for the audience to know exactly what was going on the screen and how addicted we are to our electronics, me included.
