Couples Therapy

This movie is definitely the typical romantic comedy, however, it does have a bit of twist. Instead of the guy being the macho, bachelor man he is the one who is "looking for love." While she is trying to ditch the guy in 10 days. The scene when Ben and Andie go to couples' therapy does show two different extremes of men and women. He becomes the extreme man who feels the need to prove his masculinity, while she feels the need to know that he wants a serious commitment.
Andie seems to have multiple personalities and is the control freak girlfriend who is only satisfied at the idea of meeting his family. The two almost reverse what they are trying to do until the end of the session. In the beginning, Andie wants to fix the relationship,while Ben seems to try and push her away, the typical male/female roles in a romantic comedy. Then the "shrink" suggests a family weekend and all of sudden the roles are back to what they were trying to do in the first place, Ben trying to make Andie fall in love with him and Andie hesitant toward too much closeness.
Couples' therapy shows extremes to both ends of the masculine and feminine sides going from macho man to commitment man, and commitment girl to the girl afraid of commitment.
