It's been a while since I've seen a movie in the theater where the audience laughed as loud and as frequently as they did here. It was a great, honest, real-life comedy. Definitely enjoyable.
shareYeah, same here. I thought it might turn into mostly drama in the third act like a lot of RomComs do, but it was pretty funny throughout. Definitely a nice surprise.
shareThat's good to know … I remember laughing my butt off during SCHINDLER'S LIST and 12 YEARS A SLAVE… but no one else was laughing in those movies along with me. I remember feeling like they just weren't getting the comedy!! Sounds like this one does it better though… that's good …
Do they actually show the baby being cut to pieces? God, I would be rolling in the aisles pissing myself with laughter if they do!!
Okay, you're being ridiculous and really stretching it. Get back on your meds,please, and stop acting like the world just ended because, oh my, a film that actually present abortion as a viable option was just made! How shocking! Now the sky will fall and the heavens will shake (yawn).
share^This. Overwhelmingly.
sharecartwheelsforchrist, have you noticed that everybody who responds to your posts seems to think you're a nutcase? It would help if you read a few books and learned something about abortion and the women who have one. You might then, for example, wonder whether removal of a quarter-size, formless disk of tissue qualifies as "seeing a baby cut up". This Common Secret by Dr. Susan Wicklund would be a good place to start.
shareRegardless of the method, one is still killing a developing baby. That is why abortion is wrong!
shareIf that is your religious belief, you are entitled to it. Calling a fetus a human being makes no sense to me, but that's just my opinion.
shareThe fetus has a beating heart and a brain. It's a baby that happens to be inside the mother's womb.
shareThere is no brain at the gestational age for elective abortions. Most elective procedures don't even abort a fetus, they abort an embryo. It's a myth that brain waves are detectable at forty days. "Life or Death by EEG" which is where this myth comes from is not a research paper. It's a 50 year old opinion paper, one that badly misquotes equally outdated Japanese research on 90+ day old hysterotomy aborted fetuses.
shareAnd cash, your opinion would be wrong.
It's a human.... and you would be fine with the killing of an innocent and defenseless human.
all you need is a cherry bomb on the end of a coathanger...at least that's what Republicans that can't or won't go to abortion clinics use...
shareWell, no. Legally, a fetus is not a human being, since it cannot live outside of a womb.
If you BELIEVE differently, that is your belief. I respect your belief. But this is a nation of laws, not your religion. I respect the law and others' views. Most people agree that a fetus is not a human being. I respect that.
If things go well, it will become a human being. If things don't go well, it may never become a human being. One third of all pregnancies spontaneously abort in the first trimester. It is a dangerous time. Many fetuses never become human beings.
But if you believe that it's a human being, in defiance of the law, you are entitled to believe what you want. But it's not cool to denigrate those who follow the law and believe in the law.
Legally, Whites could own Blacks and for generations after that could exclude Blacks from attending public schools
Even though they paid taxes. Legality does not equal right. Everything Hitler did to the Jews was legal. 100 percent of all lives end in death, does not make it right to kill people.
It could care less if people who would kill an innocent human being feel denigrated.
And Godwin's Law everybody.
shareLegally, Whites could own Blacks and for generations after that could exclude Blacks from attending public schools
Arbitrary distinction used in a failed attempt to justify killing "unwanted" human beings. The justification the slave owners used was just as arbitrary, skin color. Those hoping to soothe their conscience while killing and/or oppressing always find an arbitrary characteristic to excuse what they are doing.
"They're women. They're Black. They're Jewish. They aren't born yet. They're Christian."
The more things change.
SnowBarry, where y'all at?

That's just not true. cartwheelsforchrist makes a great point.
This is a great post. I agree with it and wish I had made it myself.
Instead of doing cartwheels you should go see the movie -- your comments clearly indicate you didn't see the movie and have no idea what the movie is about. You might be happier watching a "Touched By An Angel" marathon.
share"That's good to know … I remember laughing my butt off during SCHINDLER'S LIST and 12 YEARS A SLAVE… but no one else was laughing in those movies along with me"
LOOOOL
How can you not hate christianity after such a comment...
*sigh*
that is the BEST reply to this thread possible (along with bluesdoctor psyche ward). VERY smart replies.
And for the record, I've seen the movie (that's in response to the insults directed to those stating you couldn't have!)
Naturally no surprise, it's not funny, abortion isn't exactly a funny thing.
And what's more, let me be VERY clear, I dunno WHY this seems to matter to some but it does..... it's not only what you guys define to be "holy rollers" that fundamentally object to not only abortion but depiction in such a ridiculous & lighthearted manner, it's MANY, many more. Even agnostics & secular society. Which that alone (the science of this!) should enlighten you some.
But alas, I'm sure it does not.
Yep, i was in a theatre with about 12 other people, but everyone was cracking up quite regularly.
I think it helps to be a bit neurotic, or a 20-30 something female.
Jenny Slate was hitting on all cylinders, though. Very likable leading lady.

Objectively there is zero humor, the audience are like babies who laugh at distorted expressions, evidence of severely retarded cognition. Chemicals in the environment? Dysgenic infanticide? Not sure what, but it's a bigger problem than ebola

Well said.
I felt the same way after seeing this movie. A lot of great throwaway lines (felt like there was a bit of improv in there, which I love). I found this movie to be quite entertaining. I wasn't expecting it to keep my attention (my g/f wanted to watch it).
