thank you so much for saying this! i've been feeling like i'm the ONLY person who had issues with the film and it was the male/female dichotomy that bothered me the most.
i also put this in rikyl's comments, but i am repeating myself all over the place ;) the pining girl who is "suddenly deemed worthy" is such a sore point trope with me. what bothered me the most was how much it told us over and over that julie wasn't attractive enough for jason, or the "right girl" for him and basically devastated her. then he had a dirty dream about her and it's all good and she takes him back, takes him in without much of a discussion. it just. yeah. put such a bad taste in my mouth that it's been very hard to get over that.
