Look, obviously, I'm not the primary intended audience for this movie, but the messages it gives (and booooy does it have a lot to say) are well laid out and IMO quite well balanced. The furthest thing possible from the "radical feminist propaganda" some of the other commenters would have you believe it is. It does have an obvious feminist message, and perhaps it is a bit heavy-handed at times, but it doesn't say anything that I think any reasonable person would disagree with. By the end it surprisingly even delivers some well-meaning and nicely landed messages to people outside of their target audience.
Look, if you think the movie is some kind of propaganda piece or a man-bashing endeavour, I urge you to rewatch it with a bit of a more critical mindset, and you might find that it is actually saying a lot of the opposite of what you thought it was saying.
On a less serious note, the jokes are quite funny, and they mostly land well, even the ones aimed squarely at men like me. I had a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments in the cinema and almost lost it quite a few times. The set and costume design is like...really good. REALLY REALLY GOOD. The acting is excellent, at least from Robbie and Gosling. Easter eggs everywhere.

This is a good movie and well worth seeing.
