Could not finish watching

As a preface I have sat through many boring, dumb and inane movies in my life. I am not a person that normally gives up on a movie and I take pride in that. However, I could not finish Swiss Army Man. The flatulence of Manny immediately threw me off, I was willing to give that a pass at first, but it was relentless. The fact he rides him like a jet ski was just really dumb, but once Manny began spouting water like a spigot I was done. The movie is just god awful, I did not find it funny, engaging or interesting. It is a silly premise sprinkled with juvenile humor. I do not see how so many people love this film, only if you like fart jokes than I can see why you would like this movie. If you haven't seen it do not waste even 1 minute of your time on this heaping pile of garbage of a movie.

I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be.

Eh. It wasn't for you. That doesn't make it garbage. Sometimes ugly things can be beautiful. It sounds like you got hung up on the farts. It's not really supposed to be funny, but more thought provoking. It's a shame you didn't finish it, because then you'd actually have a real reason to complain. The ending was a huge disappointment.

Good point, it was not for me, that is for sure. If I knew about the farts I probably would not have even have started watching honestly. Now while I agree ugly things can be beautiful in their own way, this was movie was just plain ugly.

I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be.

Just an observation, no disrespect intended, but if you go through life avoiding uncomfortable situations you risk building a wall around your mind. Granted it's just a movie, but I find value watching movies I hate as much as movies I enjoy. I tend to learn something about myself either way.

the fact that you cant see past the dumb jokes is rather superficial of you.

I gotta agree this movie was stupid as hell and pretty damn boring. Kept just waiting for it to end.
