Wow this looks stupid beyond comprehension

First, anyone who says "duh it's a movie" can suck a dick because I'm aware of that. I'm simply pointing out that it's a dumb as shyt movie that doesn't even look funny. Movies like this are why Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Kevin Hart have careers.

-Ice Cube has nothing to gain from fighting a pip-squeek like Charlie Day no matter what the reason is. He'd just lose "tough guy" cred.

-Police don't laugh off reports of threats and intimidation; if they did and the person who called got assaulted they'd be sued for millions. Doesn't matter if it's an adult. The fat dispatch lady must be retarded as well to think only children call 911 when there's an immediate physical threat present.

-Ice Cube destroys school property that he won't pay for.

-A teacher getting the students riled up for a fight is basically telling them that fighting is a good way to handle their stupid issues instead of being adults about it.

Also, the premise itself is too thin for a full-length feature film (not to mention, it's a terribly dumb premise).

The worst part is that people will actually pay money to see this.

Utah! Get me two.

Looks like these clowns are desperate to make a buck.... Including that tool ice cube. First he ruins his own community with the NWA and their rhetoric of hate, killing, and corruption and now, very fittingly, this poor excuse for entertainment. ?

[–] RockytheBear 8 years ago

Sit the *beep* down, you've never listened to NWA a day in your life...ESPECIALLY Cube era NWA. How in the hell did NWA ruin their own community when they're writing songs about the POLICE ruining their communites? Remember the police? The ones REALLY responsible for hate, killing, and corruption?

[–] Hater_Is_Here 8 years ago

Yes and gangs had nothing but love to spread.

[–] RockytheBear 8 years ago

Yes and gangs never existed before NWA.

[–] Hater_Is_Here 8 years ago

I wasn't criticizing NWA, I was pointing out the selective blame in this statement: "POLICE ruining their communites? Remember the police? The ones REALLY responsible for hate, killing, and corruption?"

No one thinks NWA founded gangs, genius. And you're delusional if you think gangs don't contribute to hate, violece, murder, and ruining communities. Just the police my ass.

Oh and one more thing...

...you're a BITCH! 

Apparently his motive is that Charlie Day causes him to lose his job. Doesn't seem that far-fetched to wanna beat up someone who makes you lose your livelihood. Doesn't matter if they're a pip-squeak.

Police don't laugh off reports of threats and intimidation; if they did and the person who called got assaulted they'd be sued for millions. Doesn't matter if it's an adult. The fat dispatch lady must be retarded as well to think only children call 911 when there's an immediate physical threat present.

Those aren't police. Those are 911 dispatchers. But yes, you are right that dispatchers most likely wouldn't laugh it off. Though you never know. I once called 911 about a guy shouting death threats at someone from outside my building and nobody ever showed. But I think showing Ice Cube try to kill Charlie Day with an axe implies that this film is going for an exaggerated tone, not a realistic tone.

Ice Cube destroys school property that he won't pay for.

So?

A teacher getting the students riled up for a fight is basically telling them that fighting is a good way to handle their stupid issues instead of being adults about it.

I don't think Ice Cube's character is intended to be a role model, but okay.

Again, nothing to gain (i.e. I'm right). Charlie will be able to sue him for everything he's got if he so much as breaks his nose.

dispatchers most likely wouldn't laugh it off. Though you never know.

Yes I do. If they hang up it wouldn't be because it was funny, it'd be because they are bad at their job and will do jail time soon afterwards. Won't be laughing for long if they are idiotic enough to in the first place.

But I think showing Ice Cube try to kill Charlie Day with an axe implies that this film is going for an exaggerated tone, not a realistic tone.

I don't remember seeing Cube trying to spray Charlie to death, but okay. You say "exaggerated" I say "stupid as shyt."

So?

So he is stupid for piling criminal offenses up in this flimsy unfunny premise.

I don't think Ice Cube's character is intended to be a role model, but okay.

False. He is a role model, just a shytty one setting a shytty example for the students. Do you even know what a role model is? It's not just someone who acts positively.

How about funny, though? Do you think his character is intended to be funny? Because in a comedy, if he's not funny nor the realistic "straight man," there's only one conclusion: his character and this movie is stupid as shyt made for the easily amused.

Even stupider are the makers who are hoping recognizes their wholesale rip-off of Three o'Clock High

It's kinda funny seeing this post where someone criticizes a film for lack of realism when it's clearly going for an over-the-top, exaggerated tone, insists that film characters must be positive role models, obviously criticizing anyone who argues "it's just a movie" and then seeing his http://imgur.com/he96jjs
