Well, I haven't seen it...yet. I'm going to see it tonight and approach it as if it's an SNL or MadTV spoof of the original.
From what I've read about it - so many negative reviews! - I'm thinking that it sounds like a misogynistic film. I'm surprised so many alternative religion-types are finding it unfavorable from a religious perspective but not a gender issue one.
I love the original film partially because it deals with men and women coming together to celebrate the procreative act. There is a division of the genders in terms of the roles that men and women play in society; but then, there is a blurring of roles emphasized by Lord Summerisle donning drag to lead the May Day rites.
Can't wait to take this film in and have a good "larf."
