I didn't even witness them using the "R" word, but I'm not surprised they did. It seems like every sentence from their mouths was "F" this and "F" that. I am a Christian and I never use cuss words and it makes me uncomfortable when people do. My hands started shaking and it felt like my blood was boiling. I honestly tried to stay for the movie because it was a lot of money to go see it, but within ten minutes me and my finacee couldn't take it anymore and walked out.
It seems like people don't know what to make movies about anymore. It's like all the ideas have been taken. Whatever happened to funny movies that were cute and actually had you laughing out loud for happy reasons? This movie was put out as being a comedy, but I didn't laugh at anything. It was made for stupid people who like to hear people swear and blaspheme and have blood and guts pouring out of their bodies. The opening scene was so degrading to people in war...it's not something to laugh about. It's not natural and it's not a movie that took a genius to create. Whoever wrote the script must really be bored with their lives, and they only made it because that person knew that this world is in the gutter and loves this kind of garbage. Even the previews to this movie were disgusting. I am never going to an R-rated movie again. I don't understand why anyone would, unless you like sick and twisted films.
So don't be all upset over that one word, when you stayed for that whole disgusting movie. If you didn't have any problem with them cursing through every sentence, then you shouldn't care if they used the word "retard". It is a really bad thing to say, but they said so many other bad things long before that word came up. Such as using the name of God in vain numerous times. If you didn't have a problem with them making fun of God's holy name, then why even bother to care if they make fun of someone with a disability. A person with a disibility isn't going to punish you for what you said, or that you didn't care about what another person said. You could laugh right along, and the retarded man down the street isn't gonna notice. But when you use God's name in vain, or laugh at others who do it, you are in danger of hell. Just think about it. If you want to keep going to nasty movies like this, then don't get all in a tizzy when someone says something stupid. The whole movie was stupid, and if you didn't like it you should have walked out.
