WARNING: This review contains a Spoiler Alert!!!

With thousands of films in my film library, this ranks as one of my top ten favorites, with dozens of viewings over the past 45 years. What makes this film so interesting is how sexist it is, appealing perhaps to ONLY males, while not a single female Ive ever met even liked it, mostly hating it. As a man, I automatically enjoy things that are specifically FOR men, and I enjoy it even more when women HATE it. So clearly this is "a guy movie," depicting women (in general) as manipulative liars, whores, and selfish bitches. Sounds familiar? Yes, the greatness of this film is in its depiction of sexual honesty. Just how stupid can a man be when in love? So fascinating upon initial viewing, I wasn't even able to see its comedic value, mesmerized by how realistic it seemed to have a theoretical futuristic society such as the one depicted in the film. Let's be honest, there's nothing funny about extracting men's semen from them against their will - what films do we have in our society that humorously depicts female rapes? Answer: None. So this film crosses all boundaries of drama and humor into uncharted territories which are still relevant today. Personally, I find this film fascinating and worthy of MANY multiple viewings and has always been a required viewing in all film classes I've hosted. Despite its title, this is definitely NOT a kiddie movie! Don't waste your time trying to get your girlfriend to watch it - she will never like this film. Strictly 100% guy flick, perhaps the strongest guy flick of all time.
