The New Yorker - Anthony Lane

No one wants a movie that tiptoes in step with political correctness, yet the willful opposite can be equally noxious, and, as In Bruges barges and blusters its way through dwarf jokes, child-abuse jokes, jokes about fat black women, and moldy old jokes about Americans, it runs the risk of pleasing itself more than its paying viewers.

Don't be such a twat! This movie isn't tiptoeing around anything you fucking weenie! The fact that they even said "midget" as many times as they were was ballsy on their part. Stop ninny picking bullshit and enjoy a movie for fuck's sake!
