Based on your short review, you liked it. Also, do you mean actors as in the people who played the characters without gender, or do you only mean the male members of the cast?

You may notice that I did review it earlier. Quite a while ago.

Was on TV again, and caught a bit of it.

And it was meant to be a gender neutral noun

Su said...

Gender neutral acceptable... I don't remember, but I like the movie.

Trevor said...

It's kind of like saying, "hey, guys!" It can be used to a single-sex group (regardless of gender), or a co-ed group. Masculine-sounding word, but still genderless.

'Genderless' is an awkward word...

Su said...

Yes, but I wanted to confirm, as I don't remember him punching, or otherwise harming, his daughter.

Trevor said...

I would assume her exclusion from the statement is understood, but valid question.

I guess if anyone is going to beat her, he wants to make sure he's the one doing it.

Su said...

Sometimes you just have to beat your husband, so I assume this is the same for your kids.

Dan said...

As I mentioned, I only caught a bit of it. Therefore, I had to extrapolate.

I [read] excuses, not solutions.
