The Exemplar of 1980s-To-Present-Day Filth
9 April 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

It might be debated which is worse: That the absolute filth of society have taken over "film," "music," and "television" to produce such trash OR that this society has plunged so far into the intellectual and cultural abyss since 1980 that its "Porky's," "Dumb and Dumber," and "The Terminator" members demand such trash. We can thank this movie and the similar movies previewed during the 20-minute-long nightmare of trailers before this trash even began for confirming the validity of historical proclamations by Ancient civilizations stating that this time would be the absolute cultural bottom of the current 26,000-year cycle, while illustrating the extreme mental-retardation that could be achieved by the dumbing-down of America during and since the 1980s.

A comedy is supposed to help us escape the nightmare of living among the filth around us not remind us of the nightmare of living among the filth around us. Not ONE redeemable scene, with the f-word and kindergarten-style references to sexual situations - and among teenage girls, no less - to the point where, after 45 minutes of the greatest torture in a long time, the group of six of us left the movie. Yes - Right in the middle of a crowded theater on a Saturday night, six of us up and left, right after a young-teenage GIRL-thug directs the opposing girl-thugs in a warrior-like stance to "Suck my d^<>"! The night for all of us was ruined, and, during the car-ride to another venue, the discussion centered on our profound nausea over our having contributed to the becoming even richer of the filth that produced this trash. And, when we see that it has become "fashionable" to mimic the characteristic below-30-point-IQ-level hip-hop and rap dregs of society, we know that we have entered a deeper depth: The time of history that DEFIES PARODY. This society, as represented by its entertainment, with this movie as the exemplar, IS a sick parody.
