is it just me or did the women seem pretty flawless in this film?

I thought the movie was okay, but for some reasons most of these guys came across as a bunch of pricks :s While the women (except for maybe Favreau's wife) seemed a lot less flawless. Vince Vaughn's character is quite self centered, Favreau's just grabs any opportunity he gets for trying to cheat on his wife and Bateman's character was so freakin' suffocating that I was really expecting someone to hit him in the face. The less flawed is probably Faizon's character, his not being able to keep up with his young girlfriend doesn't really make him a bad guy. Just me or do you think the same?

It's more of a chick flick than anything else so yes the men are going to come off as flawed in one respect or another. Even the more normal couple, Dave and Ronnie, where Dave was portrayed to be somewhat inattentive to Ronnie and supposedly taking her for granted.

The flaws made the men way more interesting though. I thought the writing focused more on making the male characters interesting. The women were boring and empty.
