Yeah, there was much sexist grossness from the main male character and his friends.
I thought the film showed pretty well how badly the JGL character was behaving in the relationship, and how bad in general his attitude to women was, a sort of 'come over here, stand on this pedestal, fulfil my romantic fantasies.' especially for it being from his point of view.
But since it *is* all from his point of view, it does get very icky.
**spoiler**
I liked the happy ending: he's not in a romantic relationship, she's happily married to someone else.
