bunch of retards
shareIt's the way straight men should act. Not walking around on tippy toes afraid to offend someone.
shareIt's a problematic comedy. Like Airplane!
shareIt certainly wore out its welcome. How many times are we expected to laugh at a guy accusing another guy of being a faggot? I guess the WOMAN who wrote this movie ran out of ideas. Yes, hard to believe this shit was written by a female. I guess that explains all of the boring relationship subplots!
shareWell, what if a faggot had written the movie and turned it around and the script now has straight white men being shit on?? Is it Ok then??
shareI think you may have misread my comment. I didn't say anything about it being "ok" or not--I wrote that it wasn't particular funny, and it certainly wasn't funny the fifth or sixth time we heard it. So yes, it would be equally tired and unfunny if the tables were turned and we were subjected to the same "joke" over and over again.
Well, she based her story on the real-life hockey team her brother played for back in the 1970s.
