It is therefore six times as sad that the script which provides the framework in which these performances are encased was written to be so offensive that the excellent work of the film's lead actor is overshadowed by the crudeness of the material. The summer of 2000 may be remembered for the success of gross-out comedies. Me Myself and Irene , Scary Movie , and now this one all share a certain crude humor which have undeniably found an audience. This fact, of course, means that studios will soon be making more of the same. As Christians, it is a battle we wage on a daily basis.
Scripture calls it putting on the new man.
We do not have to lower ourselves to respond to the baser impulses of the flesh. Call me nutty, but laughter should be genuine and heartfelt followed by a lingering sense of joy instead of the dirty shame we feel when responding to the prurient humor of films such as these.
