Flippant
Rating: 6 of 10 
I'm not so sure about this one. Granted, it's fun, the songs are great, the acting terrific. But the plot is largely predictable, the mystery almost a no-brainer, and I'm quite unsure about the image of women presented here, which seems pretty much to fall into the typical stereotype - all are somehow in need of money from the man, all are rather found in the private sphere, are somewhat flippant and prone to being hysterical. Judged by the film, you could say, leave eight women alone in a closed surrounding, and you'll have them pulling their hair, or making out. I know, this may be over-analyzing, and it's just supposed to be fun, but really, why do we need this stereotype? 'Cause it's "real"? Come on.
