I found it mean-spirited and rather depressing. Gangnam Style, despite its shots of butts and bikinis, felt like a joke everyone, male and female, could still join in on, whereas this feels like a chance to indulge in asshole-ish behaviour whilst covering it up with a flimsy facade of "oh, it's a joke, don't you get it?" (and the joke is far too obvious to account for the behaviour, imo). Early accusations of misogyny have been met with a rousing round of comments pointing out that Psy is having a laugh, but it's hard to see at what -- are gentlemen objects of fun? is it old-fashioned and uncool to go through these mannerisms? Are practical jokes only hilarious when women are the targets?

Particularly dislike the scene where Psy's partner in crime goes to pick the girl up from the floor and then flings her down again, because really, in what reality is that funny?

I don't think it redeems itself in the end, either, as Ga In might play along with Psy but it doesn't get close to giving us enough of a revenge fantasy to wrap things up. I'd have ended it with Psy getting kicked in the nuts.

Ho hum.
