I haven't seen the movie yet (looking forward to it), but since a lot of people are perceiving it as "broke man propaganda", I wonder how that will go over with the elder-millennial crowd they're targeting, most of whom are in the marriage/kids/divorce stage when money is a huge issue. Many married women are finding that the economics of marriage and domestic labor aren't benefiting them financially, and that they're better off single and financially independent. At a time when women are still doing more of the unpaid labor even when they make more money than their partners, and raising a child is astronomically expensive, I wonder how "just marry the broke guy who loves you" will be received.
