    Hear how people actually talk? Please.

    Fuck that Mizzou, I think they went over-fucking-board in all the gratuitous language in this movie... now I'm not a god damn prude, but this was too much. Shit, they were smoking marijuana cigarettes and using poor language in every fucking scene.

    I don't know what fucking world you live in, but nobody cusses this much in their fucking mundane, everyday life.

    Fuck.

    They were a bunch of 20-something year old stoners. Being a 20-something year old stoner myself, the language was pretty realistic. This isn't a family comedy so I don't see the problem.

    The language in our newsroom is 1,000X worse than that movie...

    DogpoundDH is being sarcastic, BB. As someone who hates the "sarcasm font" with a burning passion, I support his decision to let the subtlety of his post speak for itself.

    My wife and younger (20+) stepdaughter took it in last night and that's the first thing they said. They liked it, weren't knocked out by it, but both were wishing they'd dialed back a bit on the F-meter.

    The language didn't bother me...

    It's Rated R for a reason... If you don't want to hear the language, keep it PG-13...

    I remember seeing the South Park movie and a moron parent running for the door with her two kids (both under 10) as soon as Uncle Fucker started...

    Thanks, I just now remembered the blue font would have been applicable to my post. Fuck. My bad, kids.

    I have a feeling people are trying too hard to make Heigl into the next Cameron Diaz...

    I like Heigl, and I think she's hot as hell, but I have a feeling this is going to be her "Something About Mary" where she never ever comes close to making anything half as good.

    I know Diaz may be considered A-list, but the only great movies she's been in since "Mary" came out are the first two Shreks. She's in a lot of bad movies that make a lot of money... More power to her, but she can't act for shit...
