Forcible sodomy as a visual joke? This is comedy?


Using girls in a street gang fight is beyond repugnant (at first I thought - hoped - it was going to be staged as some sort of West Side Story Sharks vs Jets parody) that then became outright obscene when McCarthy's character forcibly jammed cookies into her enemy's behind as the woman was splayed out in the street.

I have no problem saying I laughed at A LOT of the jokes in this movie - and hard if uncomfortably given that a family, parents & two grade school aged kids, were seated nearby - but anal rape as a punchline is sick.

I also winced - felt awkwardly uncomfortable for the nearby parents - at A LOT of the oral sex references in this movie - both spoken & mimed. Must be getting old I guess but even tho there are many young girls among the cast its target audience IS NOT kids. This script deserves a hard R.

It was rated R? Wtf is a hard R? Don't take your kids to an R rated movie if you expect light hearted comedy? What a stupid complaint.

The poster did NOT take kids to the movie but was referencing those parents who may. smh

It worked in context. As did the Battle Royal between the girls.

It's rated R for a reason. Don't take your kids to it and be offended by the jokes. It's meant for 17+, it's their own fault. Not the writers or producers.

It's an R rated movie dumbo. If you showed it to your kids, you can only blame yourself and give yourself a good seance of hard slapping.
