Thelma & Loiuse, in spite of being considered a chick-flick, can be enjoyed by men as well. Being a lad I find utterly inspiring that another one (Ridley Scott) would make this movie. It's an original, fast-paced and funny road-movie by two women on the run. Both Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis give superb performances. The soundtrack is cool, too.
Being a guy, I can't see how some claim this movie is not for them because it portrays two women setting themselves free of a life where their hubbies were making all decisions without even asking their wives. Any bloke seeing this movie and feeling attacked or disappointed hasn't really gotten into it, sorry to say. Open your mind, ok? It was a time a movie put male chauvinists where they deserve.
The only aspect I don't like is the end. If it was up to me the last scene would have been the two women coming to Mexico in the sunset. Had this been a too optimistic finale, or what?
8/10.
