Anyone upset about the 'granny sex' gig here?


I loved this movie except for this sequence. It was funny at first when Jim met her the first time in the stairway. Later it's still funny until they literally did...... I thought it's unnecessary and overdone. How did they get the PG-13?

Be arrogant as wall, or be humble as a bridge.

yeah i was wondering the same thing! maybe because they did not show it, but only SUGGESTED that there was some sexual stimulation between the two?? either way it was pretty gross.

reply

Why get upset about it? It's funny. Lighten up.

seriously?

If the foreigners get their ideas about the US by movies, then they aren't very smart or have much common sense.

And do you, all of you that think the "sequence" is bad, do you watch foriegn movies and take them literally about the counrty of origin? If so, see above.

Movies, people. They are movies. Imagination. Stories. Laughter. You want real? Watch reality TV. Watch life as its happening. Get away from the boob.

FFS...It's not like you all are professional critics. Or ever will be with trash like this thread.

PS
How the hell do these scenes "offend widowers"??????????

I thought it was funny as *beep*!

same !

the movie was awesome ! i dont quite understand the ending but yeah, it rocked !

reply

...I agree clever foreigners wont judge the US by movies!! ...but they might be judging by comments made on boards like this! ;-)

...what a prudish, square topic anyway... yeah the granny scene was gross but that was the whole point... some people share this kind of humor others don't but I am pretty sure watching the scene wont harm any kids ...what's wrong with the world today!?
There should be way more people worrying about movie violence than sex scenes!!
It's crazy but most sex scenes in mainstream movies from the 70s or 80s if they were rated today would get these movies 'R' ratings but movie violence on the other hand is increasing constantly!?

reply

Reality TV is real now? LMFAO! When did that happen. Reality TV is some of the fakest crap on TV, and the most useless.

didn't upset me at all, one of the funniest bits in the whole film

No. This is just another really bad movie, that was made to entertain people who have nothing to do.

reply

well, mr. smarty pants, explain what you think the purpose of movies is? i think the purpose of movies is to entertain people who have nothing to do.

I thought it was quite funny and very very weird. I made the stupid mistake of bringing the movie into school so me and my class could watch it for our last couple of days of the year. I think when everyone saw that they didn't know what to do. It was the teeth in the glass that did it for me, lol! This movie should no way be a 12 (I'm in the UK)! It should be a 15 seriously!

i'd bang her

reply

You'd bang the_ADMIN's mother? ...That's not a very nice thing to say.

reply

Thank god I'm in the Netherlands, here the movie is rated for what it is, harmless. Here it got a rating of 6+ and well I think that a kid of that age might not really get the joke but there is no harm in seeing it.
I mean it was intended to be a bit grose and that is what makes it funny as hell. On the other hand it is just a fact of life that these things happen every day around the world. (not my cup of tea but if you like it why not.)

reply

Same here in Belgium. Thank God for common sense and independent thinking! :)

reply

I think it was just to show the extent of how much he will say yes to. It was a turning point, when he both realised bad things will happen to him if he doesn't say yes, and when the audience knows how much he'll say yes to. I liked that scene, plus it was funny.

By the way, this is my signature.

reply

I thought it was unneccessary and through the film unbalanced. Great film though. Loved everything... but this.

reply

It did not flow with the movie, it was out of place. Without it - it could almost be a family film.

reply

The scene showed that he had to say yes to everything or else bad things would happen. The grandma oral thing was just because he hadn't gotten any or been able to do anything in a long time (addressed by the seminar guy). It's a comedy. It's for the lols, and if you take it to seriously you missed the point. And whoever it was that didn't find this PG-13 material and should have been R is crazy. No nudity(ass doesn't count) and it didn't have very many curse words. It was a sold PG-13.

Y was he the last man?

reply

It IS a family film. And the scene may have seemed out of place at that moment, but fell into place with the scene at the bridal shower when his oversexed friend, Rooney, who obviously had heard about her, took the granny with him.

reply

My mom walked in two seconds before that scene. It was...uncomfortable

Admin's the name and pain is my game.

reply

It definitely didnt suit the mood of the movie. It seemed like the writers couldnt think of anything better or funnier that involved the old lady so they did that. I bet they're regretting it. It was just gross.. not funny. Made me uncomfortable

If you piss in your pants you can only stay warm for so long

reply

It was more than uncomfortable it was down-right sickening. We wouldn't laugh if he got a BJ from a 10 year old so we shouldn't laugh when he got one from an 80 year old. It's "lucky" the movie sucked anyway as this would have ruined it for me.

How does this movie rate a current 7.1????

reply

I think there's a great deal of difference between sex with a consenting adult and with a 10-year-old. If you can't see the difference in that then you have some serious issues.

reply

JCJ thinks it's normal to have sex with an 80 year old.

reply

You think sex with a 10-year-old is better, Short-Eyes?

reply

I think all the people who were "uncomfortable" with this, have some serious issues. Maybe they would have preferred a violent scene instead?

reply

Why would anyone be upset about the fact of an elderly woman having sex or performing sexual acts? They most likely have had sex when they were younger adults,they are just older now.It's not like anyone was getting taken advantage of.You wouldn't say it was gross if it was a 30 or 40 year old woman.And comparing it to a 10 year old is just nonsense.A 10 year old doesn't usually know much about sex,nor are they physically or emotionally ready for it.In most cases,an 80 year old is.

reply

Me, too. Especially when my grandmother mentioned that she has dentures.
