Guerra Entre Homens e Mulheres
Guerra Entre Homens e Mulheres
Linda Kozlenko
Dois peculiares "Manhattanenses" trombam um com o outro no bonito consultório de um oftalmologista. Peter, um rabugento cartunista cuja visão está falhando, e a mãe divorciada Theresa, que também está relutante em mergulhar em um relacionamento agora. Não é amor à primeira vista, até por que ambos estão com as pupilas dilatadas. Peter constantemente satiriza as mulheres em seu cartuns, o que a vendedora de livros Theresa sabe muito bem. Vagamente baseado nos desenhos de James Thurber "A Guerra Entre Homens e Mulheres", e na vida de Thurber, a curiosidade do filme é ter algumas sequências em animação.
