Diana Bass complains: It just wasn’t very funny to see four smart American women parading western consumerism and sexualized identity in blatantly insensitive and anti-religious ways in a traditional world.    Wait a minute, what she describes may not be funny but it’s certainly the best thing I’ve heard about the film from everything that I’ve […]
