These new comedies with the asshole characters.
I went to see Hall Pass last night. It was kind of funny, in places, but it was once again a movie comedy with the assholess in it. Like The Hangover, Due Date... they ar eall assholes. Massive, shitty assholes.
EG: The Hangover. 1 guy hates his family life and teases the guy who is meaning well. none of them have any real redeeming characteristics and yet the makers still think we will root for them - admittedly, the hangover is actually very funny in places, but still they are assholes.
Due Date. When RDJr's wife is maybe having an affair I actually said "i hope she does" because I hated the fucker and she deserved someone better. Pricks.
Funny People. Every single person in that was a complete waster cunt and none of them were likeable!
Compare to:
40 Year Old Virgin. Guys are assholes yet help a friend find love.
Anchorman. Guys are assholes BUT it's a pastiche of the era. Passable. And they are dumb as fuckwits.
even Groundhog Day. Phil Connors is the ultimate asshole, so aas punishment he's stuck forever in the day that he is the biggest asshole, and then has to repent to find the person he loves.
What happened? And why are all men in these films such utter fucking losers?
