With those here that said it was trying to be too many things at once and got diluted in the process...so the initials WTF really fit.
The topics that it seemed to want to address...feminism...the war in afghanistan...media coverage/media politics are all touched upon but none seemed to be dealt with in any deep or meaningful way...i kept waiting for something to move me and, although some reviewers found it well balanced, i felt that the 'comedic, partying' segments only took the heat out of the buildup of any drama...like they were scared to be controversial...i LIKE controversy...it's challenging and might lead to thinking. Although, what's the fun in THAT, right??? So, for me, overall, the film was largely disappointing... i thought parts were definitely well done...the acting was good. The 'comedy', not so...it DOES make me realize, though, what accomplishments works like 'mash' and 'catch 22' were, since they blended the horrors and the comedy together without one taking any impact away from the other... and the end scene was VERY good.
I WANted to like this movie, but...it just didn't have enough meat on the bone for me...
