* UnfortunateImplications: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6if7cCcZ9E According to]] Film Brain of WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown fame, the movie is deeply sexist against both men and women. He interprets the movie as claiming that women are uptight prudes with unrealistic expectations for relationships, who need to let go of their inhibitions and debase themselves; whereas men are boorish perverts with no interest in emotional connection, who shouldn't be expected to improve because they can't.

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Or in this case, get together in the first place. Mike never really improves so much as simply get contrasted to an even worse StrawMisogynist who actively advocates that women should be raped so he can look good for clearing that tremendously low bar.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus among those who don't think it's SoBadItsHorrible. It's a painfully by-the-numbers romantic comedy that tries to come off as intelligent and original by [[LampshadeHanging poking fun]] at the gender stereotypes inherent in the genre while at the same time safely reinforcing the expected DoubleStandard for the rom-com audience.
* UnfortunateImplications: AllMenArePerverts, woman faking orgasms being incredibly common, and every other stereotype or DoubleStandard relating to the sexes is on full display, and the intended LampshadeHanging ultimately comes off more as nod-and-wink "[[ChickFlick right, ladies?]]" writing than actual trope aversions.
