So the wife dragged me off to watch Fifty Shades of Grey last night.

There were about 3 men in there (all with female partners), the rest were women in small groups of pairs. As we were waiting for it to start another couple turned up and walked past to take their seats, her to her "If I fall asleep don't bother waking me up".

It was poor, very poor, aside from the predictably cheesy dialogue, stereotyped shots of her gently biting the ends of pencils, him grasping random things in a manly way, aside from those things it was just very, very dull.

Took ages to get anywhere, the sex scenes were not particularly erotic, and in the end it was all just a bit sad.

But maybe that is the point, I have seen it said that this is the first attempt to create a film with erotic scenes from the female point of view, and my wife loved it, as did most of the other women I heard taking as we left.

One couple walking out alongside us, him to her "bloody hell, the things I do for you", his missus and mine then had a brief chat about how they'd enjoyed it so me and him agreed they could go to the next one together and we'd wait for them in the pub down the road. So at least I got a man date out of the experience.


Spoiler alert:


She is a young virgin English Lit student, he is the young and mysterious billionaire, they meet through some convoluted and unrealistic construct, there is an implausible attraction they both feel, he pursues her, gives her gifts, she doesn't question why the man who could have everything is so keen on her, he whisks her off to his house, she asks if he is going to make love to her now, instead he shows her the 'play room'. He explains everything he wants from her, even draws up a contract, continues to give her gifts and try to please her, despite constantly saying what he doesn't do keeps doing them to try to please her.

She tries to change him.

That essentially is the story here, man wants woman, woman has all the power and tries to change the man to make him perfect.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
