People complaining of this movie need to get a life! Lighten up!!!

True.

This is a discussion board where people post their opinions.

I wish I could spoil the fun for you....It seems that your idea of fun is very cheap and distasteful.

It's unfortunate that movie studios are turning out this crap. They're still putting out this crap because way too many people are too easily amused by stuff that is not funny, but rather gross or stupid. This kind of 'entertainment' makes people a lot less classy and a lot more dumb. Simple things please simple minds.

And if you're wondering why I went, I thought it would just be a funny movie with Jason Batemen and Ryan Reynolds. I thought it would make me chuckle a bit. I had no idea I would have to walk out because it would get so lame and disgusting. That was the first movie I've walked out of since 1993. Normally, even if I don't like a movie all that much, I stay because I hope there will be some redeeming qualities in it somewhere. This movie made me not even give a damn and also very little hope that there might be.

And I would prefer to be a 'tightass' if it means that the quality of the entertainment I watch is obviously higher than what sex jokes and toilet humor can provide. At least I wouldn't be watching the kind of films that actually kill brain cells.

Note that I am able to insult your taste in films without using one swear word, other than to quote you. (Is tightass really a swear word?).
You will want to throw insults back at me but you probably wouldn't have any vocabulary other than swear words to try to make feel small. And as a result, I would have even more pity on you.

To quote a movie with more intellectual humor, 'A hundred thousand sperm and uh, YOU were the fastest?'

I thought it was very funny, but I could do without all that toilet humor. I know the term toilet humor can encompass a wide range of things, but for me, literately anything to do with crap and the toilet. Why? The movie is equally funny without having to show crap or resort to farts and dump taking sounds. Gross. I don't get the falsification with crap and farts by some of these movie makers.

Kinda off topic... Folks keep your marriage romantic and fresh, not smelly and gross. Who has a wife that would take a dump like that in front of their husbands like in the movie? Then she cries that her husband is not attracted to her anymore. LOL! That can't exist in reality, can it? But I'm sure very open relationships like that do exist, and some of these same people go crying to talk shows that they've lost the romance in their relationships. And I wonder why.

This movie gets high praise from mostly juvenile individuals who like being shocked by bathroom humor. (OK someone will tell me they are 55 and liked it. You are still in a juvenile state of mind.) What was troubling was the scene (unrated edition) where the two leads were urinating in public in front of a large group of children and Reynolds even commented that a girl scout was staring at his penis. Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't that, in real life, get you 5-10 in the slammer. OK I know this is a movie but one's sensibilities have limits and this went beyond those limits in that situation. What really irked me was that lazy writing abounded. Consider the three stooges doing that scene. They would have burst into a clothing store, run off with oversized trench coats, gotten a tent from the camping store and urinated into the fountain inside the tent while shielding their urine streams with the trench coats. Was there a time constraint on these two fellows that they could not have come back when the area was deserted. Perhaps they could have jumped in the pool and urinated underwater. I don't recall a set of firm rules mentioned for the switch to take place. Like I said, lazy writing.

Of course this movie uses the now standardized Judd Apatow invention of inserting sentimentality and a little conservative compassion (e,g, Knocked Up) into an otherwise juvenile situation to justify and lessen the impact of the raunchy humor. Apatow makes it work somehow, this movie did not. I would like to know how Bateman's character explained to his co-workers why his best friend locked lips with his wife in front of everyone, repeatedly and she seemed to like it.

Lastly, what gives the OP the authority to tell everyone to lighten up. Certainly not me.

Reviews are just that, reviews. I love a good raunchy comedy. Animal House, Caddyshack, Porky's, most of Adam Sandler's films, Old School, American Pie, the list goes on and on of films I've loved. Heck, I even found Tom Green's Road Trip very funny.

This said, this movie s-cked. A baby bashing its head against the crib? A baby sticking its hand into a blender? An adult male grabbing two infants by their backs and carrying them like suitcases? Projectile diarrhea from a baby? Telling a toddler to solve her problems by beating up another little kid? A horny pregnant woman where you could see the baby kicking? Hardy har, very funny.

Less offensive but still terrible was the swearing every other word and the numerous intentionally painful scenes -- that scene in the law office boardroom was virtually unwatchable. And what was up with the borderline psychosis of the Reynolds character? That boy was so screwed up in the membrane that not even a good cinimatic dollop of can-do would have been enough to fix that. I couldn't suspend belief that far, even in the gross-out comedy mindset.

The movie was utterly ridiculous even within its genre. And the fact that good actors like Bateman, Reynolds and Mann were involved makes it all the more inexcusable. Ugh.
