I can't believe how racist, homophobic, and sexist, this movie was


And I love this movie. Just being honest. Not in the way that I'd interpret it, but how the majority of twitter and other mob crowds would interpret it.

I mean yeah, it's actually quite racist, homophobic, and sexist, but it's amazing that 10-15 years ago we could write this off as a joke, and write any offense off as questionable characters in the plot. If this movie was made today and SC, PR, SR, were still unknown, their careers would've died with this movie underneath a tidal wave of pc outrage.

I'm actually amazed that the suite of actors in this movie haven't been targeted to apologize for their ignorance 13 years ago.

The movie and the jokes in it aren't the problem, the culture we live in now is the problem. You watch. You humorless, dry, politically correct clowns are going to get trump in again by the end of the year.

I thought "racist, homophobic, and sexist" types were Trump's core voters :)

Movie can't be any 'phobic', or even 'racist' or 'sexist'.

Using a word like 'homophobic' is illogical and typical, manipulative shaming language. There's no such thing as 'homophobic', there isn't even one individual on this planet (or any other) that genuinely FEARS homosexuals or homosexuality. Gays are the LEAST scary people I have ever known. Even the scarier gays are not as scary as some heterosexual maniacs.

Also, WHAT?

This movie of all movies you think is anything but sexist against MEN? You must be out of your mind.

Tell me when you get back in, so we can continue.

In any case, this movie is misandristic, man-hating, matriarchal, female-empowerment fest that laughs at 'loser men' and thinks old, wrinkly hags are the most attractive and appropriate 'sexual or romantic partners' ever, and that you have to get married before you have sex.

I mean, this movie is SO many things, including 'disgusting' and 'ridiculous', not to mention 'unrealistic', but it's definitely another powertrip for the fema-fascists and the 'you go, girl!'-crap.

At LEAST it showed a woman be 'freaky', but why would a woman go in a bath and start using a showerhead to masturbate when she has a man right there?

This woman is both unrealistic and realistic at the same time; unrealistic, because SHE makes all the moves and asks the man to come home with her (women never do that, because they never HAVE to do that, because man is expected to always make all the moves and advances towards sex, or sex won't happen - it's just female psyche!)..

..but realistic, because the bathtub scene shows she EXPECTS the man to finally start making some kind of moves (and of course, he doesn't), so she escalates more and more, hoping the man to become aroused enough to 'BE A MAN' and 'PUT ON SOME MOVES', but he becomes petrified instead, so she's doomed to have fun with the showerhead instead.

What's unrealistic, again, is that she doesn't react to a stranger in her house suddenly.
