As always you pull no putches and probe deeply to reach a position. As it is I'll admit I do like this film much more and found it much more tolerable than you did. I thought it was very well written (and acted by Gordon-Levitt, as you yourself conceed) and there isn't an iota of sentimentality or self-pity in this story of humor popping up in the most unlikely places. I can see some serious objections to Rogen's crudity for sure, and I know the dark humor isn't to everyone's taste. But with the dearth of manipulation I dare say there's an inspirational side to the narrative arc.<br /><br />I fully understand and respect your position nonetheless, and while the film has obviously won terrific reviews across the board, a few others at Wonders in the Dark have engaged me in e mail wars, standing toe-to-toe with your position.<br /><br />Great to see you back my friend!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
