How much "eating the camera"?


. How often is the "eat the camera" trope (link below) used? I ask this on behalf of a friend. He finds the trope disgusting and doesn't want to see the movie if it is used frequently. You know how in the movie Storks, there was a running gag of whenever somebody said "boss", the camera would zoom in on their mouth and it would be in slow mo? My friend says he could hardly stand looking at that.

What a weird thing to be bothered by. Your friend should probably avoid movies altogether if something that harmless can freak them out.
