I'm watching the movie as I type this. The entire thing is a satire - filled with stereotypes and cliches. It takes shots at Jews. Muslims. White people. Black people. Straight people. Gay people.

It's intentionally inappropriate. It's a comedy!

I got the impression that this movie doesn’t really know what it is. It wants to say something, like Look Whose Coming To Dinner, but is filled with really broad, goofy comedy that belongs in a Zucker Brothers movie. It has a lot of talented artists attached to it, both behind the camera and in front, but I can’t help feeling that it could’ve been better if they would have stuck with one tone.

Agreed. Is it crass? Yes. Is some of the humor cheap? Yes. Is every stereotype on the table to be poked at? Yes. I’m totally fine with a satirical movie that is willing to poke at each group’s hypocrisy. There are some cringy moments for me during the movie but it’s all part and parcel for an attempt at making fun of everyone and everything.

Did you pay any attention to the last 20 minutes or so at all?

Pretty clear this wasn’t “just for LOLs”
