The movie doesn't sound so much red-pill, so I don't understand why women were pissed off by it. In my experience, it is realistic, no-bullshit-happy-ending movies like Vicky Cristina Barcelona that enrage their hamster (or stun it into shell-shocked silence).
It's pretty much on American films that have "a happy ending" as a prerequisite. There have been lots of examples of directors wanting a darker ending, but test scores were negative so they had to re-do the ending to make it happy. I don't know why that is, but it seems horrendously stupid to dislike a film just because the ending wasn't like a Disney film.
Probably the women, after all, they are just overgrown children a lot of the time.
