	Although I do find morals in movies such as 'Dirty Dancing' (which 
purposefully had none, or rather, the absence of one) or music videos ('Do
I have to walk on water?' No, just don't cheat!) your description if    
'Parenthood' leaves me thinking it just a silly mess. As you say "all the 
guys are either jerks or ... jerks." This is not anti-women. This is anti-
human. If they're making fun of everyone, how can you expect them to ignore 
women?
