Swearing, sex and pooping babies...yep that's about it.


You know, like most, I thought I was going to get a really good laugh when I watched this film due to it's nature...at least once anyway. But for some or other reason, I just found it extremely hard to catch any real sentence behind all the swearing in this film. It's like there wasn't even a script there or if there was a script all it would read would be *beep beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeeeep and motherbeeeeeeep* with the random "I know" and "Ok" and "She's hot". It was almost as though they created another language out of it!!

Then of course there was all the toilet-humour...LITERALLY. Babies pooping, wives pooping...they're all bloody pooping. I have also never seen a kid hit his head like that against a crib at that age...what is the child the omen or something? That was just weird, distasteful and rather lame.

Then there was all the fake boobs wagging in your face all the time like someone dangling a treat in front of a dog...except even the dog would reject this. It was so overdone and disgusting at the end of the day. The sex scenes were possibly the most distasteful things I've ever seen. The pregnant lady, the lorno woman....it was embarrassing and it just really became intolerable.

I can understand that obviously a movie like this would contain that kind of thing, but this was just too much. It was like they took the view that you can engross the public with just swearing, toilet-humour and sex to the extreme. I know guys who would run away from this.

If movies are art and acting is an art then this would be a two year old's finger painting that even his mother would reject.

This movie is awful. I watched this last night on tv for the first time. I went in with low expectations, thinking it wouldn't be very funny but it would at least have a few decent jokes. I didn't laugh once. The whole cgi nudity was weird.
