Cummings' brainy, battle-of-the-sexes rom-com makes you laugh--and perhaps understand a bit more about why we think, act, communicate and behave the way we do.

Whitney Cummings is funny as hell. Usually.
February 08, 2018
Its creators' hearts may be in the right place, but that's not enough to save The Female Brain from overthinking it.
February 02, 2018
A dry and entirely too clinical and gimmicky romantic comedy about the chemical and neurological differences between the sexes.
February 14, 2018
It's a long road of unfunny business before formula reigns, with Cummings and co-writer Neal Brennan arranging a pedestrian battle of the sexes where only the audience loses.
February 04, 2018
The Female Brain never seems quite sure whether it wants to probe the depths of its title subject or just make us laugh.
February 09, 2018
By the time the film chugs to its nonsensical ending, it's become a very familiar feeling indeed.
February 07, 2018
Unfunny comedy rehashing the ways in which men and women are different.
February 08, 2018
By fitting characters into formulas, "The Female Brain" fails to observe the flexibility of human experience.
February 09, 2018
Cummings meanders between all of these couples and their troubles without much pacing, momentum or insight.
February 16, 2018
Griffin, showing an easygoing charisma and sharp comic timing, is a slam dunk. Otherwise "The Female Brain" is mindless.
February 08, 2018
Cummings may have taken the easy way out here and there, but she largely delivers a film that kinda sorta makes you think, which isn't a characteristic the genre is known for. Throughout, your feel-good chemicals will be flowing.
