No No NOO Ricky Bobby

Rating: 1/10 (22 August 2006)

Look I don't know about the rest of you people but this alternative life styles getting shoved down my throat makes me sick. Don't get me wrong a little oddball humor is OK but to much is TOO much. If you want to see a movie that is on the same level as, say, The Anchorman then by all means watch Ricky Bobby. But personally I'd take back the hour and a half that I wasted watching crude antics, and over the top life style themes portrayed in this film. Also there is the matter of lack of respect for the elderly, and also lack of continuity in a family. In one scene young children are berating and belittling their grandfather, but instead of being chastised they are in fact encouraged to continue; also (same scene) children admit to doing badly in school, and showing lack of respect for authority but nothing is done about it. In another matter there is Ricky's father, a transient bum who constantly leaves his family only to come back to leave again. This film is portrayed as a family comedy, but but i can't see it as anything but a waste of time.
