I think you sum it up, Gaz...it wasn't outrageously offensive like Caligula or Salo, it was just mind-numbingly dull. A crude, vulgar sex comedy where everybody keeps their clothes on? The overweight landlady who shows us her bra but conveniently only does blow jobs? The sexy young chip shop siren who never takes her overall off? And old people acting vulgar is, well, old hat.
What were they thinking? The Office guy had a good foundation to make a career for himself - this completely torpedoed it. Did Vegas really look at this script and think "THIS is the one to get me into mainstream cinema"? Did they think it was an update of the Carry On genre? If so, they've never seen a Carry On movie - this made Carry On look like something by Feydeau.
Awight we're The Daamned we're a punk baand and this is called Carn't Be Appy T'day!
