First thing I thought upon watching the opening scene


"I am so sick of watching ugly, fat white men wallow listlessly in their privilege."

Seriously. Immediately I hate this movie.

Are there redeeming features to this piece at all?

That was exactly the point of this movie

Lol! That was exactly what I was thinking. I got halfway through the bloody thing and got so angry I had to turn it off.

Does he at least die at the end? It's all very well and good making the least sympathetic character on the planet but 47mins in and he still hasn't gotten any comeuppance at all? Not even a "f-- you"? Really?

I find it amusing that the OP doesn't realise that his/her quote is exactly what the viewer is meant to think.

This is a satire of The Hangover culture that's always a runaway success. Of gross men behaving like twats - who we're meant to revere and adore for acting like privileged white ugly fat arsehats.

Ironically, I bet you loved The Hangover.
