Modern-Day Comedy Sleaze

Rating: 2/10 (26 August 2006)

Sorry, but I didn't think this was as good as most people did. Many moviegoers thought this was hilarious; I didn't. Oh, I laughed hard at a few scenes, of course, but the main attraction for me was Cameron Diaz' face more than the comedy. The humor is a little too sleazy for my tastes. I love comedy and own a bunch of DVDs of that genre, but I don't need excessive profanity and sex to make me laugh.
Why would they put so many f-words in a comedy? Just asking. There has to be at least 40 in here plus a dozen abuses of the Lord's name in vain. You know, if it's a crime movie I can understand, but a comedy? It's another sad comment on the movie business and our society that a movie like this can be a box office success, and that so many young people enjoyed this. A woman with semen in her hair? Wow, now that's classy entertainment!
