      Well, if you were from a southern US state, I would’ve bet that everyone you know hated it because they’re conservative and think it’s “man-hating”. I don’t know anything about UK geopolitical leanings though.

        I think there are a couple factors at play: firstly, this movie is actually pretty silly and weird; although I disagree with the movie’s politics, it’s a good film, and I like it. However, it felt a lot more like a cult hit than a mainstream blockbuster success. I can tell why some people wouldn’t like the film due to it’s weirdness or how much of the plot doesn’t make sense.

        But also it’s a highly political film, so there’s a lot of subtext, jokes, and moral messaging that probably won’t connect unless you’re fluent in American politics and the three waves of feminism that have swept the nation.

          True, it makes sense that people in the UK would not relate in the same way. I know there are patriarchal issues in the UK as well, but I don’t know how UK people view those issues.
