Is this racist, sexist or both? Neither? I don't understand why some people can only look through a colored lens and see nothing but race.

Mind you, this is the same woman that accused Maureen Dowd of being racist because she tried to set her up with a "hot" guy, who happened to be black. Yuck, something wrong when I'm defending Maureen Dowd.

Anything Hollywood excretes is automativally suspect, and any excretion that contains Julia Roberts gets flushed as policy.

She is the corn in the poo of our cultural decline, or at least one little tiny bit of corn.

That’s a huge chunk of American culture.

I'd rather have my stomach fried than have to sit through this movie.

Just my two cents.

“Maureen Dowd”

No offense, but I could care less about this thread. However, since you mentioned MD, I’m just here for the pictures! :)

Liz's problems in the movie are as follows: a husband who loves her too much in suburbia; clinging too much to a hot, unemployed actor in Manhattan; eating too much pasta in Italy; controlling too much of her mind in India; and having too much sex in Bali.

I don't know ANY "white girls" with more than one of these problems.

I'm with you, man. I don't generally go out of my way to read anything from The Root, and especially not about Julia Roberts movies, but the headline caught my eye.

I just don't understand why this website exists. For example, what is a "black perspective"? If I wrote things from a "white perspective" that would be racist. Who thinks that way? I just don't get it. It shouldn't be a "black" or "white" perspective. It should be an individual's perspective. I don't understand what difference race makes.

When I do things, I don't preface everything I do with the word white. And if I did I can only imagine what peoples' reaction would be.

I swear, if I never see Julia Roberts’ teeth again, it will be too soon.

Ever just look at someone and they instantly make you angry? Like it flips a switch or something? That's what she does to me. And +1 for her being fugly.

She is unattractive with her loo large mouth and teeth, and her nasally voice.

While not necessarily ugly, I have never understood what is remotely attractive about her.

Why doesn’t that person just start her own #blackgirlproblems hash tag and post away?

I'd rather eat your fried stomach than have to pay 15 bucks and then sit through this movie.

Hmm...if one of her problems in the movie is a husband who loves her too much, they’ve changed the book significantly...

Because it’s not about being able to do something,
it’s about being able to prevent someone ELSE from doing something.

Get it now?

Why do you and batman11 care so deeply that you could care less?

Or did you mean that you could NOT care less?

Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine: If you care more than you want to or should, then you could care less.

If you don’t give a rat’s patootie about something, then you could NOT care less.

Words mean things, and poor grammar diminishes us all.

BTW, count me in with the “What is so attractive about Julia Roberts?” crowd.

From what I’ve read of the book and the movie, the whole schtick of this movie is just young unfufilled female angst at being young unfulfilled and female.

It’s total mental masturbation, with little plot and no message.
