The premise

Here’s the bit.

Tired of agreeable partners who never give a straight answer, a group of boyfriends try Mean Scary Girlfriend, a product that delivers blunt verdicts on their clothes, haircuts and receding hairlines. The ad runs through her preloaded put-downs, her terrible timing in the bedroom, a dog that hates you, a lineup of intimidating exes and a volatile best friend, before promising that her once-in-six-months compliment feels like a blessing from above.
