I almost walked out


I should have, but I shelled out $10.50. This was easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. Why was it so bad? extreme, gratuitous violence and explicit language, to an extreme. I'm not a prude by any means, but come on, the F and N words were used pretty much every 10 seconds throughout the film. And a shooting occurs literally every 45 seconds throughout the film. There is no reason to go to this extent with the violence and language except if you are trying to go for shock value. The cute kitten was the only saving grace. It's kind of a cute premise, A guy gets dumped by his girlfriend and he is feeling low. A stray kitten appears at his doorstep and he immediately falls in love with it. After returning home from meeting a friend, he finds his apartment vandalized and the kitten missing. His drug dealing neighbor gives him some clues as to who might have broken in and stolen the cat. He then enlists the help of his friend to retrieve the kitten from the drug dealers who committed the break in. With a different screenplay, they could have turned this movie into a really enjoyable funny story. However, even though it bills itself as a comedy, I found myself not laughing walking out of the theatre. Instead, I felt relief that the movie was finally over. At the showing that I attended, there were only 3 people including me. The two others were an elderly lady who was accompanied by a young girl who appeared to be about 9 or 10. this movie is really not appropriate for a 9 year old child, what are people thinking? Unbelievable.

I have not seen the film yet, however, people misusing the word "literally" so much these days is such a pet peeve. I doubt there was a shooting every 45 seconds.

"Blah blah blah, I'm a whiny hypersensitive little crybaby, and if you're not a whiny hypersensitive little crybaby just like me I'm gonna be really cross! My only regret is that I didn't storm out in a hissy fit like I really wanted to, but at least I get to blubber about it on the internet!"

Cool story bro. Ignored for being a whiny hypersensitive little crybaby prone to blubbering on the internet about how you regret not storming out in a hissy fit. Take care now. Bye bye then.

So you saw a movie that was rated R, (you do know how movies get that rating, correct?) and you are complaining that it had things in it that garnered that R rating. You have got to be one of the most ridiculous people ever. It's like getting a pancakes and sausage meal at a restaurant and complaining about how it has pancakes and sausage in it.

Lol I love when ppl say they aren't a prude but yet go on and make prudish complaints. Waa too much curse words, waa too much violence, waa too much nudity. You prudes should just stick to Disney movies and quit whining.

Im getting sick of people saying every other movie they watch is "the worst movie they have seen." If this is the worst movie you've ever seen. Then you haven't watched enough movies.

I've watched plenty of movies, this year alone, I've been to the movie theater at least 16 times. This movie was just plain awful!

You clearly don't know what the word literally means.
