One of the grossest movies I've ever seen

It was nauseating when they were riding in the car with that huge loogie stuck to the window. The camera kept going back to it over and over and over. That scene just wouldn't end. I had to look away it was so disgusting. I hated the director after that.

Little did I know there would be far worse grossness to come: Countless vomiting scenes (at least FOUR) and seeing someone stepping in and slipping around in their diarrhea. I really don't need to see this kind of "realism" on screen. It's visually repulsive and completely off-putting.

And yes, I know it really happens and it's "real life." My mom died from cancer. Still makes me recoil at seeing such grossness in a movie. I don't need to see bodily functions depicted on screen to make a character seem more realistic or vulnerable. Whoever wrote all the vomiting/pooping/spitting scenes in this movie is ridiculous.

Grow up.

You just refuted your own argument. REAL LIFE. It happens. Those who sugar-coat it or edit out the "gross" moments are undercutting themselves. Glad this director didn't make that mistake.

My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.

Totally agree. Life isn't pretty sometimes and not all things end up happy. It depicted what its really like not hiding, "sugar coating", or implying anything. Anybody who has been through it knows how well done this movie was. Not just the cancer, the real life acceptance issues, the bull headedness, the unspoken words, love but stubbornness not to forgive and finally for me it was acceptance and gratefulness when RDJ was the only person that came to get the judge out of prison and the unspoken nod of the head. In the end, both characters knew inside how they felt but didn't say it.

For me I think of the absence of a relationship with my father. I had not even spoke to him in 20 years when My sister and I attended his funeral. More recently, the death of my mother. She had been deteriorating for years and went in for a procedure and poof, didn't really go the way the doctors had planned and a few days later my sister and had to pull the plug because she was suffering. Life isn't fair, things don't always go as planned.

For whatever reason, every time this movie is on I'm hooked. It means different things to different people and for me its the absent father and the loving mother that took care of us and the movie gets me different ways for each of those situations.

RDJ and RD were incredible, so incredibly real.

i thought the runny poo situation was so true to life, particularly the slight chaos as you try to help the person get cleaned up. i don't think it was gross, it was just honest.

Maybe it's simply not your kind of movie. I lost my father to cancer, and my mother was a severe nursing case for 3 years. And this is exactly what I experienced with them. Yes, it was disgusting to see, and I cried my eyes out. And at the same moment I was thankful that it was NOT sugar coated. This is what happens, as you said, it IS real life. And it made it even more obvious, that the once feared father and judge was about to become a helpless vegetable, to lose everything he had. That IS life, and that's how it was told.

has a thing for the dude portraying the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude

I suspect the reason was to remind the audience that life can become very unpleasant at times.

Give yourself a slap in the face, then grow tf up.

You were grossed out by vomiting?
You were grossed out by spit?
The incest didn't bother you?

Jesus Christ, I doubt there's a movie you could possibly watch without getting grossed out.

This is clearly a troll post. A sad one at that.
