Well, during my experience from living in the Uk for a little bit, all you Brits seem to think that all of America is imbred hicks, when that is less than one percent of the population. So shut the hell up. =D

and your surprised we think that when movies like this come out?

Alot of really good friends and people i work with in bands live in The Uk.
They're not the stereotypes with big teeth, that sit around drinking tea all day, talking about their feelings. They're just like American people if not nicer.
This was just a stupid movie anyways. Should have been straight to DVD.

I don't think any American sees Brits like that. When you hear the stuff about tea and teeth it's just a joke. We do have a sense of humor here in America (judging by a movie like this though, you'll be forgiven to believe otherwise), and we're just as easy to make fun of (or easier than, seen Borat?) as the Brits. Just the same, because you think of a gun-carrying fat guy everytime you hear "American" doesn't mean you expect all Americans to be like that. By the tone of your topic you don't sound offended by this movie, just a little concerned.

Just to set things straight, English and Americans have been poking fun at one another for hundreds of years. It's harmless fun. That's all.
