    My parents have seen this movie three times, I’ve seen it twice, might go again lol. I’m in a deficit of movies marketed toward women that dont revolve around romance, I can only watch legally blonde so many times (who am I kidding, I will watch it a dozen more times at least)

    I can only assume that my one downvote is from someone who vehemently opposes the notion that anyone could get tired of seeing legally blonde

      It felt odd, marketed as a female movie, It had a female lead, women that talk to other women, but half way through I commented to my partner that this feels like a movie about Ken.

      My only take away as a dirty male is I can t wait to see it again for Ken, but when it’s streaming.

        I’ve seen this opinion from a lot of men, about 80% of the top comments on the Reddit mega thread were about how Ken “made the movie”. I’ve talked to a lot women about this, and every one of them has essentially said “of course they think it’s about the man”. It’s a bit frustrating, honestly, to see this opinion everywhere. I do not see how he could be seen as the focus of the movie. I loved Ken of course, but you missed a big point of the movie if your main takeaway is how great Ken was.

          Badly worded, my main take away to see it again, I do see past Ken. And like you say, if you’re witnessing people saying that Ken made the movie then that’s the exact problem I’m conveying.
