I Finally Saw Hitch

So, I finally watched Hitch last night, the movie in which Will Smith plays a Date Doctor/match maker/cupid ("Hitch"). [Author's note: you have to have seen the movie to understand the following]

While the movies was cute, I gave it a "thumbs down". What I didn't like about it was the portrayal of women a being not responsible for their actions. The main female character, Sarah Melas, a columnist for a popular newspaper, doesn't research her facts, and ends up printing false information about Hitch. Sarah also has relationship issues (the same as Hitch) - she can't open up, and is scared about being in a relationship.

Sarah isn't called on the carpet to make amends for her false reporting on Hitch, and it's Hitch who has to pursue Sarah to happily conclude the movie. So...not only does she ruin Hitch's career, and almost ruin many good relationships that Hitch has helped match-make, but it's Hitch who has to go out and fix the relationships, and plead with Sarah to take him back.

What sort of twisted shit is that? Sarah screws up her facts, and it's Hitch who has to beg and plead to her?

Women are people too, no more no less. They should be responsivle for their actions.

Most are, of course, and this was only a movie...it simply sends the wrong message.
