La desigualdad salarial entre hombres y mujeres es uno de los temas que más ruido está haciendo en Hollywood en los últimos años, siendo denunciada en sus intervencione en la ceremonia de los Oscar por actrices como Meryl Streep o Patricia Arquette. De las 1.300 películas más taquilleras de los últimos 12 años, sólo el 4% fue dirigido por mujeres. En 1929, antes de poder votar en las elecciones estadounidenses, las mujeres dirigían más películas que hoy. En 85 años, sólo cuatro mujeres han sido candidatas al Oscar a la mejor dirección y, de ellas, sólo Kathryn Bigelow ha ganado el premio.

Es decir: no devolver favores, sino pagarlos por adelantado, y no necesariamente a quien te lo hizo a ti. Para sorpresa de todos, la desinteresada propuesta causa furor entre la gente. Entretenida comedia con toques dramáticos y un eficaz reparto. Como anécdota el personaje interpretado por Spacey es, en la novela, de raza negra, lo que provocó polémica en USA entre el colectivo afroamericano.
