What makes a woman swipe right for Mr. Wrong and left for Mr. Right? This simultaneously entertaining and enlightening comedy is a fresh, witty, and all-too-relatable look at the real-life science behind our (often regrettable) romantic impulses. Writer-director Whitney Cummings (2 Broke Girls) stars as no-nonsense neuroscientist Julia, whose research into the biochemistry of the female brain is illustrated by three couples: newlyweds Zoe (Cecily Strong) and Greg (Blake Griffin), whose career troubles seep into their relationship; Lisa (Sofia Vergara) and Steven (Deon Cole), who are looking to spice up their stuck-in-a-rut marriage; and Lexi (Lucy Punch) who can't help trying to change her boyfriend Adam (James Marsden). Meanwhile, the straight-laced Julia's own synapses start to fire when a handsome new subject (Toby Kebbell) joins her study...

- Rented this today, I cannot even count how many times I laughed out loud! Great writing, seriously funny performances. I'mReply
- Light and easy pretty enjoyable, but I love a lot of critics slam this movie for oh its not dig into the topic enough blah blah blah social issue shit.. This movie is listed as comedy for some reason right?Reply
- Had a handful of funny moments, a few touching moments, worth watching just to see the performances of Cecily Strong and Blake Griffin. Seemed obvious Whitney was passionate about this book as her stand-up material covers a lot of this ground. As a first time director I thought she did a nice job bringing it to film.Reply
- this movie was an excellent surprise. I laughed hard and I even cried a little. This movie is well worth it give it a try male or female.Reply
- I have always liked Whitney Cummings. I thought it was a good film. It kept my interest ( which isn't easy ) and was funny and educational.Reply

- If you enjoyed the trailer you'll like the movie. It's a creative fresh and cute romantic comedy.Reply
- 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.Reply
- 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.Reply
- By fitting characters into formulas, "The Female Brain" fails to observe the flexibility of human experience.Reply
