I think it unfair to bring Disney into the argument.That is way over to the other side of the spectrum. There is only the ratings to help us choose. And unfortunately there is R and there is R. Nudity used to be the big deal, now nudity is not such a big deal. Not nearly as offensive as when some lines are crossed that we just haven't seen on screen before. We were born in a different time perhaps, but I have laughed myself silly at some danged funny, bawdy jokes. Some dirty jokes just have to use some not frequently used words sometimes, but stepping into something different sometimes makes us feel like we could use a good bath.
I haven't seen the movie, thought I'd like to. There was another movie that had a lot of bad language that close friends and people I respect on this forum said was a hoot. I can't remember which one but Bosox Fan and Pooh liked the same one. I never got around to seeing it either. Can't remember what it was.
I will keep reading here. This sounds a little over the top for me, and I am a naughty joke teller.

Gracie it is one thing to tell "bawdy" jokes among adults. I am guilty of that also but if we continue to support the decline of decency from Hollywood, then don't be surprised to see our grandchildren "twerking" in public like the spectacle that Miley Cyrus made of herself last week! I definitely am not a prude but I do not think it healthy that our children and grandchildren are exposed to it! Just my opinion! Everyone has a right to their own opinion!
