Dude, one can almost anticipate saying, it\u2019s called \u201cChick Fight,\u201d what did you expect? On the other hand, the very crowd attracted by the R-rating and promisingly un-PC title may feel cheated. Instead of the cleavage, hair-pulling and Jerry Springer antics it teases, \u201cChick Fight\u201d serves up a blandly formulaic and scrupulously inoffensive tale of female empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>Anna (Malin Akerman) is having the kind of overkill Bad Day that beautiful women in Hollywood <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> tend to have as proof that they\u2019re just as much of a screw-up as you are, lol. Sitting on the toilet, brushing her teeth, the pointedly non-sex-having Anna rolls her eyes at her neighbor\u2019s loud, prolonged orgasm, before realizing that her Prius is being repossessed. Oh no! Now this radiant putz is late for work at the failing coffee shop she owns, and that will, later on, burn to the ground uninsured when her BFF Charleen (an engaging Dulce\u0301 Sloan), a plus-size Black lesbian police officer whom I\u2019m afraid one can only describe as \u201csassy,\u201d lets her joint fall into a puddle of home-made moonshine. This is the result of a late-night pity party called by Anna to talk through her discovery that her Dad (ex-wrestler Kevin Nash), having moved on from the recent death of her beloved mother, is now dating a man. As Anna sits glumly outside the burning cafe, Charleen decides it\u2019s time to introduce her to the all-woman underground fight club she runs.<\/p>\n<p>Unbeknownst to Anna, her psychologist mother founded the club as a way for her female patients to gain self-confidence by getting the s\u2014 kicked out of them, and to find community by kicking the s\u2014 out of others. Such paradoxes remain blissfully unexamined, however, as Anna is quickly embroiled in a ginned-up rivalry with the club\u2019s snarling Bad Girl, Olivia (Bella Thorne); a ginned-up romance with the club\u2019s off-hours doctor, Roy (Kevin Connolly); and a ginned-up mentorship by whiskied-up trainer, Murphy (Alec Baldwin, who\u2019d be phoning it in if he could reach the phone from whichever hammock he\u2019s snoozing in). On palm-fringed, turquoise-watered beaches \u2014 DP Steven Holleran\u2019s tampon-commercial aesthetic is as flattering to the Puerto Rican tourist board as to the exposed midriffs and sweat-spritzed shoulders of its attractive cast \u2014 Anna pummels watermelons, does pushups and carries buckets hoping to build up to a final showdown with her personal demons.<\/p>\n<p>Well, make that demon <em>singular. <\/em>Despite all the effortful piling-up of adversity, Anna\u2019s sole problem is that she doesn\u2019t believe in herself enough, which is understandable given that a character this sunny, uncomplicated and utterly hangup-free is difficult to believe in. The revelation of her Dad\u2019s bisexuality is a case in point, emblematic of the way the contrived screenplay (typed by Joseph Downey) pulls every one of its potential punches. Implicit in how it\u2019s played \u2014 as a rug-pull \u2014 is the dubious assumption that it\u2019d be much worse, or at least funnier, to discover your widower father is in a new gay relationship than a straight one. But after registering shock for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately two microseconds, angelic Anna is immediately 100% supportive, which is all right and proper, but then why make his sexuality an issue at all \u2014 let alone the subject of a limp sight gag about the disparity of build between her hulking Dad and his cherubic, bespectacled Asian lover (Alec Mapa)?<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the love triangle between Anna, the vampish Olivia and Dr. Roy is hamstrung by the honestly laughable notion that two such supermodel types are vying for attentions of this nonentity, as though in order for the film\u2019s entry-level feminism to work, the male love interest has to exude all the dangerous carnality of a carton of premixed pancake batter. Perhaps the filmmakers expended all their offensiveness capital on that titillating title and then felt the need to repeatedly apologize for it with unceasing (if very skin-deep) body-positivity, sex-positivity, LGBTQ-positivity, racial colorblindness and you-go-girl camaraderie. Which might all be laudable if it were remotely credible and if it didn\u2019t entirely defang the comedy. \u201cIf this was a movie it would be rated R for \u2018raunchy,&#8217;\u201d says one unnecessary side character, unaware that the movie he\u2019s in is R for right-on.<\/p>\n<p>Relentless niceness aside, the fight scenes are engaging enough, artfully edited with balletic slo-mo sections and blood squib usage to imply contact, though no one ever sports so much as a bruise until Anna gets the kind of high-cheekbone scrape that manages to make her look even prettier. And, all set to a surprisingly decent soundtrack, featuring a couple of songs by Akerman\u2019s musician sister Jennifer, it passes the time amiably enough for a film so rote you could set your watch by its beats. There\u2019s no depth, no memorable jokes and no real point to it, but then again, dude, it\u2019s called \u201cChick Fight,\u201d what did you expect?<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
