Inordinate bad language ruined what could have been a good movie

Excessive bad language ruined what I thought could have been a really funny movie. All the actors were funny and interacted well together but the language was so bad and so much that it made it really hard to watch. I watched this on HBO. I would have been real upset if I had paid good money to see this in a theater. I would have wanted a refund! I guess it was geared towards the newer audience that is more acceptable of that sort of language. It was just too much for me. I didn’t expect such a foul language movie with Jennifer Aniston in the cast.

The f word loses its meaning when uttered every other sentence.

Used right, it can have some real power.

The more the merrier for me when it comes to R comedies so I never even thought about it while watching.

This is one of the two current day R rated comedies that I can stand (the other being Euro-Trip).

"Without management, there is only chaos."
"Can we try the chaos thing?"

To compare:

The original National Lampoon's Vacation: Clark's meltdown in the car.

It would not have been nearly as funny and powerful if he were talking that way the whole movie.

Or even better, Clark's meltdown in Christmas Vacation:
We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap- hap- happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with *beep*

His meltdowns have always had me rolling in the aisles laughing :D

STFU whiner.

Agree!

It's rated R, in case you haven't noticed.
But there are numerous PG-13 Adam Sandler comedies that should be more to your liking.

First of all - sorry for misspelling or other language errors - english is not my native language and I haven't used it for some time.
Mesmerized - I understand You and understand that f word

Used right, it can have some real power

- in other cases You would be right but Miller family is not ordinary family. The man is drug dealer - I always think of them as real badasses. The wife is stripper - well, she can't be a good girl, can she? The daughter is a runaway and lives on a street - I think one needs to be though to stay and live on the street and part of looking like though guy (or especialy a though lady) is using a faul language. The son - he is not the issue here. He doesn't swear a lot but he is a dorky, delicate virgin, right? We don't suspect that kind of guy to curse a lot.
Supporting characters: drug lords and thugs - badasses, the Fitzgeralds - almost ordinary family - they don't curse as much as the Millers.
That's the way I would create them because that's the way I see (picture) that kind of people in reality.
The other thing is the Millers are all adults (or almost adults) - and adults swear when talking with friends not in public place. Atleast in Poland we curse.
