This is a considered a comedy classic!?

I'm sorry, but why? This movie was tasteless and awful! It really reeks of "toxic masculinity". No way in hell would a movie like this, be made today! The death threats, boycotts, and cancel culture would be off the charts!

Want a good comedy classic from the 2000s? Watch Step Brothers, The Hangover, Talladega Nights, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. Anything but this godawful film! Even Joe Dirt and Napoleon Dynamite were both way, way, way better than this garbage!

Want to watch a better version of this film; watch The Bad News Bears, instead! The original 1976 or 2005 version, I don't care.

ITS AN ALRIGHT GOOFBALL COMEDY....WHO TOLD YOU IT WAS A COMEDY CLASSIC?

[–] CodyXBrenda (326) 4 years ago

It's bad and why people call The Butterfly Effect a bad movie is fucking beyond me! Yes, I understand that's a sci-fi thriller and this is a dark comedy, but that is a more memorable film from the 2000s than this crap!

BENCHWARMERS 4/10...BUTTERFLY EFFECT 7/10

My thoughts exactly! Still better than crap like Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, and Jack & Jill but still a rather poor comedy. The toxic masculinity and the bullying really ruins it and it's not funny at all. I did hear from my best friend that all the bullies get their comeuppances and reform, so that's great. I just hate how bullying is portrayed worse with males, than with females; despite what others may think, otherwise (hence the term "toxic masculinity") and why it's almost a thing of the past in today's PC society where everyone is called out for their sins and crimes.

If you're too weak to handle this pg 13 comedy, then don't watch it, snowflake.

You're the damn snowflake, not me! I was just stating that we live in a crappy PC world. I'm not all for it, except when it comes to physical bullying.

Toxic Masculinity? BUahahahahahahahaha

And the “comedy classics” you cited are all awful, nothing more than immature college humor. Get laid you loser.
