Great review
The comments are funny, what is about these women fans who love films like this and sex in the city which just wholly demean women?

they are all misogynistic harlots?
I don't know whether it demeans or not btw, but that's what they'd be ;)

they're fucking mental, to be polite.
the oatmeal described it well - girls/soccer mawms like it because it's an escape - they can pretend to be the empty shell being woo'd by the perfect man - in fact, they describe my features quite well...

Thinking Allowed on Radio 4 today covered this quite well, albeit indirectly. It suggested that while in the past these sort of obsessions (David Cassiday, Bay City Rollers) would fade in the late teens nowadays the internet allows general communication and social networks to build and reinforce such fan bases to the extent that they can self sustain and go on for a relatively unlimited period of time.
