Okay I just have to vent this... am I the only one TOTALLY DISGUSTED by the commercials and the whole premise of this movie? Well, I don't really know the premise of it and don't intend to since I would never go see it, but as far as I can see from the commercials it's all about how funny a black guy dressed up as a big, fat woman is.

WHAT IS SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT??!!

I honestly feel like picketing. Or better yet, throwing egg salad at the people waiting in line.

Why don't I see anyone in the media saying anything about this? Is it just me? Possibly I'm oversensitive and am the only one who feels this way.

Am I???

Kare,

Relax sweetie....they arent pokin fun of big people. Martin Lawrence, the guy thats in the "fat suit" is an under cover agent. I saw the first one, not the second one......and he is impersonating an old school~ African American woman from the South. I didn't see the second one, so they could have changed the story line....but the first one was done respectfully. I had a simular reaction to that Johnny Knoxville movie "The Ringer"....because my son has Down syndrome and I thought the whole movie would have been spoofing off of people with disablities. Thank God it was done gracefully and the Special Olympics even sponcered the movie!!! I didn't see it yet...I look forward to seeing it some day soon, but my brother went. They do say the word Retard and retarded in the beginning, but it was to show how other people treat people, it wasn't ment directly at the actors with Down syndrome, as I understand it.

I hope this has helped ward The Rubber Truck ~~ Its nice to see people with passion though....Id be right there with ya throwing something at em if it was disrespectful....:puke:

We saw it at the drive in on Saturday night with the kids. It was soooo bad, lol. It will be a flop anyhow, wont be on the screens for long.

It's no different to any other stereotypical movie though. Legally Blonde was on the telly last night, that's just as bad. If you're blonde or good looking you cant possibly have a brain type of thing.

Well, I don't really think making fun of fat people is the same as making fun of blondes, but it seems like I'm the only one this bothers so I'll just grit my teeth and bear it.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

You are not the only one hun! I get bothered at the same things and I think that most people just don't read into it. But people like you and me do. Trust me, I think they should make a movie and call it "The anorexic super model"!!! LOL:hungry:

Silly............but at times funny! It is what it is! Not to be taken very seriously!
