Sexist and racist juvenile waffle

The only non-white character, played by Anthony Mackie, is predictably enough a misogynist who wants to rip apart women with his penis. Bravo, screenwriters, you must be so proud of perpetuating that particular racist stereotype.

That pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the movie, in which a bunch of 30 somethings behave like puerile emotional retards. Embarrassing.

Congratulations on playing your part in further dumbing down America, if in fact we can get any dumber.

I'm not sure you can blame the screenwriters for the casting.

Er, I was commenting on the screenwriting and characters, not the casting.

I too was disappointed in the casual racial remarks such as when Anthony Mackie singled out the South East Asian women stereotype and the historical Korean drama scene where they called the hanbok a kimono. All these could've been singled out as those comments added nothing to the story and did more harm than good.

So we can talk about anything now? Everyone have to be nice, cool, intelligent, pure, awesome and rightful.
Thats bs man!
People suck! Man! Woman! Black! White! Gay! Straight! Everyone! We have cool and bad people in every shape and form. Deal with it.
He is the only black dude in the movie? So? There are people who have only one black friend who is a douche. And there os people who have only one white friend who is a douche!
Stop ruining everything! STOP WHINING! Grow the *beep* up!

And yeah! The movie suck! A lot! But not because of that, the fact that the douchey agent is black doesnt matter!
The movie suck because it have bad writing, bad edition and it feels mega long when is only one and a half hour long. Js a bad movie. Just that.
Get over yourself and realize that people are different and its ok. You pay so much attention to how they look or what make them different that your blind to their actions! Again, grow up!

And yet, you supported their efforts by both watching it and posting about it.

Congratulations on playing your part in further dumbing down America.
