The 35-year-old star who is also preparing for the release of her next film,
Going the Distance
, which sees her star alongside her on/off boyfriend Justin Long and insists she has a very male mentality.
"That turns me off. I'm as turned off by that as any guy because I am a 'dude'. I have a very male mentality - the comedy in the film is not little girl comedy. It's boy comedy, it's androgynous comedy," Barrymore said.
