I looked but didn't see a thread about this movie, so....
What does everyone think? I finally got around to watching this tonight, and I laughed my ass off. Best comedy I've seen in a long time.

Agree 100%!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.
I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

I liked it, but I thought Wedding Crashers was funnier.

I have been wanting to see both of these movies, but I cannot get any of my friends to give me a straight up raunch rating.Fist and Faith wrote:Yeah, I thought it was hilarious!! (I loved Wedding Crashers too.)
What do you guys think?
Nudity in and of itself does not bother me if that's what the R-rating is for. But some R-rated comedy scenes (like the hair gel scene in There's Something About Mary) have been known to sort of turn my tummy. Most PG-13 movies like Zoolander or Meet the Parents do not bother me...
So what is the raunch factor in these two films???
Love as thou wilt.
40-Isn't really that bad.
Wedding Crashers has a scene in which the hero is....uhhhh....manually manipulated beneath the dinner table. Very funny, but may be considered raunchy.

Virgin was good. Nothing too raunchy about it that I remember. What there is is mostly verbal. There's one girl that's a bit (ok, a lot) of a freak sexually, and a scene involving hair removal that made me squirm a bit.
I was really surprised with Carrel's performance. I thought it was going to be an almost SNL-type stock character (can't stand The Office), but I was wrong.
Wedding Crashers... meh. The characters are two-dimensional, which is usually good for Vaughn, and maybe he didn't do too bad of a job with this one, but Wilson really drags the movie down. Walken can't even save it. There's a lot of nudity and injury/bodily function humor.

I agree with Syl. Vaughn carries the film. Wilson is typical one-dimensional Wilson. I laughed my butt off every time I've watched it.

It sounds like I might be able to handle both then. I can deal with pretty much any sort of humor as long as it is "good natured", as in you are laughing along with the performers rather than "cruel" humor where you laugh at people for getting hurt or needlessly humiliated or needlessly hurting other people. If these movies are good natured and a bit bawdy, I would probably be fine with them. 
The scenes that bothered me in There's Something About Mary were the male mutilation with the zipper, the fish hooks in the guy's face, and the "hair gel" scene...

The language is the raunch I'm talking about. Particularly in 40. A group of male friends talks about women and sex. There's no way that's not gonna be raunchy. And there's a scene where an older guy is saying, "Love isn't just about sex. Not just @#$#%%, and #$%&%$, and @#$^%$#$ #$$%^, $$%^%, ##$^&%$, @$%^&%." using some surprisingly filthy phrases.
Hilarious, imo. I saw it twice, and will watch it again on dvd. But not for everyone.

I love the "Know how I know you're gay?" thing. Especially the last thing said.

I've watched part of it, up through the card game....what's that, like a half hour? I didn't find it to be funny at all, and turned it off. I still have it at my house; if I get incredibly bored, I might watch the rest of it just because it's there....so far, the only thing I liked Steve Carrel in is Bruce Almighty.

40 really would have been a better film if they got rid of the cursing. I loved the rest of it, but the cursing was way way way past the point of gratuitous.
Ever see the movie Major League? It's on TV a lot - pretty funny movie. But if you watch the real version of it (not the "editied for TV" version), there's clearly an unnecessary amount of cursing. I think it distracts you from enjoying the movie. Too bad they don't release "Tamed" versions of movies instead of (or in addition to) the "Unrated" ones.
