Review of Real Women Have Curves (2002) by Kevin S — 20 Nov 2007
This film does what most other so-called "chick-flicks" couldn't do. It celebrates women without bashing men. Yes, the male roles are secondary, but they're intelligent, supportive and unpretentious.
The father, the grandfather, the high school teacher, the boyfriend, they are all likeable characters. And guess what? It didn't make the women seem any less courageous. I mean really, how many other movies can make that claim? Thelma & Louise? No.
Fried Green Tomatoes? No. Steel Magnolias? No. Beaches? No. Need I go on? I thoroughly and completely enjoyed this film and I didn't walk out of the theater feeling browbeaten or guilty for having been born with testicles.
