Critics have maintained that his male protagonists are misogynistic and trite.[2][3] Kultgen says he frequently "get[s] messages from people who didn't enjoy the books. They tend to be a bit irate and usually take the time to tell me that I'm the worst living writer, the world would be a better place without me, I have no understanding of women or all of my books should be burned."[4] A New York Times piece in 2011 interviewed people who asserted that characters in his works were based on them.[5]

His 2007 book, Men, Women, and Children was released as a feature film in 2014, featuring Adam Sandler, Emma Thompson, Ansel Elgort, and Jennifer Garner.[6] It received poor critical and commercial success, netting only 2.2 million dollars at the box office.[7] [8]

gollark: Pacman, a package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, is used to install, remove and update software packages. Arch Linux uses a rolling release model, meaning there are no "major releases" of completely new versions of the system; a regular system update is all that is needed to obtain the latest Arch software; the installation images released every month by the Arch team are simply up-to-date snapshots of the main system components.
gollark: Arch Linux is a Linux distribution created for computers with x86-64 processors. Arch Linux adheres to the KISS principle ("Keep It Simple, Stupid"). The project attempts to have minimal distribution-specific changes, and therefore minimal breakage with updates, and be pragmatic over ideological design choices and focus on customizability rather than user-friendliness.
