Sexist, degrading, objectifying, classless, humorless

Rating: 1/10 (5 June 2010)

In my opinion, Judd Apatow is an insulting, offensive and demeaning director. I will probably never go see another Judd Apatow movie again. After all of the "positive" praise that this movie received, I made the mistake of watching it hoping for a funny and enjoyable movie. Afterwards I was in shock that this movie received any positive praise at all and feel the praise was completely undeserved. I felt so disturbed that people would rate such a degrading, offensive movie so highly, and that objectifying women would be viewed as funny. They didn't even seem to be treated human in this movie, but merely objects...a display of flesh and completely used in a negative way. There was absolutely no signs of intelligence or substance in this movie. The whole time I watched (which I wasn't even able to complete due to being so offended) I was waiting for a one liner or punch line that would make me laugh....nada....nothing....not even a chuckle. I was just thinking, are you serious? this is what people think is funny? Being a woman especially, I was so shocked at the numerous incredibly raw scenes that were supposedly "humorous" and just did a jaw drop in disbelief. I was baffled and saddened by this movie. Taking women, making them seem like nothing more than whiney, annoying, pains in the rear, then on top of that making a spectacle of their body was humiliating for me to watch. The directors obviously have no respect for women what so ever, or their bodies. The strip club scene which so many movies seem to have nowadays (so original) was about all I could take before shutting off the movie. A married man who happens to have young daughters rubbing his face in the butt cheeks of a stripper while his buddy gets a motor boat by another stripper who couldn't have possibly had a bigger set of "jugs" so they could "blow off steam" is hardly funny....its disrespectful and pathetic behavior. If my husband acted like a neandrathal like these guys, he sure as hell wouldn't be married to me. I have a bit more dignity than that and this movie is a perfect example of allowing men to behave in this immature, repulsive, and unacceptable behavior. I mean seriously....the characters are grown men. This movie basically said to me, raunch, disrespect, sexism, insulting, offensive, and any other word similar to those.....and also the message that men never grow up, or learn how to respect females....sad...pathetic movie....horrible horrible horrible....F- I didn't even want to give it a 1, but that was the lowest score possible.
