The reviewer’s job, of course, is to comment on what is on the screen rather than what isn’t. But it also means refusing to separate what’s on the screen from its real-world context. That Munn has been outspoken on the issue of Striegel’s hiring, in contrast with her male co-stars’ more circumspect reactions, is hardly a surprise. But it takes on particular resonance in the case of an aggressively testosterone-driven entertainment, in which a bunch of raucous dudes yuk it up relentlessly while mocking and sidelining the smart, capable woman in their midst.
