Some guys will be watching this they'll watch the film they say cool how could I get a woman like her what would be your top tips. The storyline of the film is that if you have to change to make someone else happy they're not worth it and that's that's the moral. Of the whole there's it's funny and it's madness but that's the moral of it so I think if a girl expects you to change they're not worth it anyway. Find another yeah yeah and uh there's one or two bad dating experiences in this movie as well I could relate definitely to one of them in film.
