* How come not only doesn't anyone seem to find the premise of the movie sexist, but women actually ''embrace'' it to the point that this movie even had a female director? Not only does the protagonist gain his power by interacting with stereotypically "feminine products", but the way they're portrayed implies (to me, at least) that the movie considers female thoughts to be as easy to read as dog thoughts, and easier than male thoughts (ergo: women are shallow).
** Simple: It isn't. There is no indication that men have a 'better' thought pattern, and the whole dog thing was about how the mind reading applies to females in general. Also, he DIDN'T get his powers from the feminine products, he got it from the lightning. His attempts to re-enact the events was based on his own understanding, which was shown to be flawed.
