Annie: ENTP (Though maybe ENFP...I think the actress is ENTP, though.)
Lilian: ESFJ
Helen: ESFJ (She seemed very stereotypical.)
Megan: ESTP (How did you get that she was an F, much less an NF? She seemed like a straight-up ESTP.)
Annie's mom: I don't know.
Rita: ESTJ
Nathan: I don't know. ISTJ?

That's what I would have thought too.

she doesn't look F because she is 8w7 or 7w8. ENFPs are also the least noticeably NF and can look like SPs or NTs a lot of the time
however, looking back I didn't really see any clear cognitive functions, so I could see her as any EXXP type

I really don't see her as an NF type, sorry. Her concerns are remarkably different. She's very much focused on concrete concerns, not abstracted ones; and in case it's one of the items being considered, the fact that she can offer Annie some insight into her life doesn't mean she has to be an NF.

This is a misogynistic film, and it tried to infect me.

Only Megan and the nymphomaniac one were likeable.

What did you think of The Hangover?

 

[Nicodemus]

That is was stupid but also funny. I knew that men are pigs beforehand.

I laughed at some of it; but I thought Bridesmaids was far funnier, consistently.
I could identify and discern the interplay that was going on and the expectations driving them.

I laughed, too. But it also made me hope that there are very few women who actually are like that.

It was written by a woman. I didn't get a vibe that it thinks women are or should be considered less than men. Granted, I could be forgetting something. I think I saw it back in May.

 

[Orangey]

Yeah, I'm pretty hypersensitive to misogyny/latent sexism in films/tv shows, and I didn't pick up on anything wrong with this film. I was actually pleasantly surprised.

It passes the Bechdel test with flying colors! And the relationships between the women didn't descend into stereotypes (i.e., fighting over men), which I greatly appreciated.

 

[Nicodemus]

Oh, you literal-minded people. It portrays some ridiculously superficial women doing stupid things as if that were how women are and what women do in the US when one of them is about to get married. Yes, I got that it is a comedy.

 

[Qlip]

I have to admit, it's even more uncomfortable for me to watch women get in Apatow style situations. Which, of course, makes it even funnier.

 

[Anew Leaf]

I though Annie was ISFP.
Nathan seemed very ISFJ.
Helen was ESFJ

Just how does any of that equal misogyny? You say it like it's self-evident. Enlighten us with your abstract thinking.

It is not misogynistic because it is a comedy, but the portrayal could be seen as resulting from a mindset that does see women as being the way they are portrayed in the film. My whole post was not to be taken literally but as a way so say something like: Wow, what a bunch of ridiculously superficial women, seemingly representing women in the US.

So what you're saying is - correct me if I'm wrong - that you didn't find the characters to be favorably portrayed, therefore it's not doing US women any favors, therefore it's a misogynistic film?

Totally agree. I absolutely saw her as very ISFP.

Lilian: ESFJ
Helen: ENFJ
Megan: EST fo sho. "Literally"
Annie's mom: INFJ (prob e4.. artistic streak and going to AA without ever having a drink lol)
Rita: ESTJ
Nathan: ISFJ (prob e6 defense mechanism was projection)

I never considered this film to be misogynistic. The idea was to create charactors and obstacles that many women can relate to, exaggerated into comedy. Sure it could be seen as silly, but this isn't because of the female element. This is because the workings of human nature are often silly, being fixated on petty dealings, jealousy, vengence, and competition.

The films satirizes the whole nonsense and tohubohu that seems to be part of getting married in the US. In the process of so doing, the characters are portrayed as what I consider to be clowns. Of course that it part of the satire, but because that level of fuss is strange to me, perhaps stranger than to people who are familiar with such marriages, I perceived their portrayal as even more demeaning as others may do. Maybe women are like that. Maybe the filmmakers despise them for it. Anyway, since it shows women in a way that I was not previously acquainted with, the film had the potential of giving women a bad name. In the latter sense it could be considered misogynistic.
