The Denver Post reviewer gave this a 4 star rating, which really upped my expectations. Was disappointed.

They painted the men in this movie about sexual harassment as absolute pigs. This took place during the Anita Hill times, which were in the l980s?

I work in a blue collar field, the post office, where it is still considered a male job, although there are plenty of women, hardly any as good looking as Charlize Theron.

However, it's been my experience, that when one babe does show up, she is showered with attention, not obnoxious behavior. The men swarm on her and are overly nice to the hottie, hoping they will win her attention and be picked by her.

This movie was supposedly based on real life. Didn't ring true to me. The father turned around as did the son, which also didn't seem real. I'd give it a C+ at best.

"Babe", "hottie"??? C'mon Newman, it's a co-worker who happens to be female, not the pin-up girl.

As far as the movie, my mom saw it and said it was ok; not as good as she hoped it would be. But, that the harassment the women dealt with was awful.

From what I've read about the real women behind this story, it is insulting to pigs to compare them with these guys.
