Hey, I'll have you know I'm not a "sir." And um, WWE goggles?

Look, I was not saying "legitimate" = "great movies." I was using legitimate in the sense of having a reasonably successful movie career. My point was actually that the movies he's been more successful with have been kid-type movies where the target audience is generally too young to even remember him from WWE. That's all.

And, no, I cannot believe I just spent that much time on defending Dwayne Johnson's right to use his name if he wants to.

Oh no! Something is wrong with correctiongum! I do not think he knows how to use the word "deterrents."

Right and I wasn't saying YOU WERE HOMOPHOBIC. BREATHE. What I mean is that, where you saw it as PUSHING THE BORDERS OF COMEDY (Congrats!) plenty people I know saw it as LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT WATCHING TWO GUYS HAVE SEX WAS RIDICULOUS AND AWKWARD. Maybe this goes with your whole playing TO AN AUDIENCE point, but I think where one person is laughing and having fun, others are just having their homophobia FEEL VALIDATED.

And, UNFORTUNATELY, I can promise you that comes from statements I have heard. With my ears.

I live in TEXAS, DIAPERFACE. I didn't get what was funny though? If it's not viewed as some kind of SATIRE, then like at least 60% of the movie is falling into HOMOPHOBIC trappings all on its own. I mean, I can handle fun. Yes, MY NAME IS ROD AND I LIKE TO PARTY, and I laughed at the Hangover even though people thought that was racist and sexist and whatever. The THING WAS was that non of that was the LINCHPIN of the entire premise!

Granted, a movie like this was NEVER GOING TO WORK 100% (look at ME I should be an analyst), but it could have at least BEEN A BIT MORE POINTED AND INTELLIGENT. Instead, you have scenes that are inserted into scenes of SOMEONE DOING JOKES but in gayface. I mean, if Jamie Kennedy did this film, people would be in an uproar. The movie becomes FUN, I guess, but it's deriving its FUN from situations that are supposed to be funny and awkward because GAY GUYS are APPARENTLY supposed to be funny and awkward! I DON'T GET IT! A funny joke is funny, why the need TO DRESS IT UP with gayface (is that a THING? I DUNNO).

I can UNDERSTAND why you might have enjoyed it. I'm not denying YOUR SWEET, SWEET, INNOCENT LAUGHER LIKE A YOUNG CHILD, but I'm just saying that I think at least half (if not more) of the film was coming FROM ENTIRELY THE WRONG PLACE.

So where's the FUN come from then? From being "supposed" to be grossed out by PENIS? I don't understand what this movie is TRYING to do if THAT'S THE point.
