Agreed. I try to stay away from this board because of all the uptight morons who flood the board with comments about how this movie is racist, sexist, depicts and approves of rape, etc, etc. Total b.s.
It wasn't me who was murdered, was it? -

This movie didn't strike me as a film to motivate all the liberal types but after thinking about it yeah it has many points that could infuriate today's thin-skinned type. Back then movies were more like stand up comics in that offensive material was allowed in the name of comedy but the whole PC movement has made people lose sight of that. A funny thing is this was an earlier film by John Hughes, was a huge hit and actually started a string of successes from him. Had it been released today John Hughes would have been run out of town on a rail and classics like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Uncle Buck would never have been made. Eh whatever

Agreed. I feel strongly that virtually

can be funny when written and performed correctly. -

Agreed! I'm watching this for the 800th time on the Sundance Channel, so I thought I'd see what the boards had to say, and holy crap, what a bunch of paranoid, uptight whiners. Compared to teen movies past and present this has to be among the least offensive. Just middle class middle America comedy.

I wasn't surprised one bit with people on here having a problem with this movie.This is my first time watching this and half way through I knew people would have a problem with it.They say fagt,reta and everytime the Asian boy shows up they play that sound
.All of that was funny including the part when they start playing The Godfather theme while the Italian fianc was talking
.
This is a COMEDY in the 1980's.Why would they hold back?
I'm more surprised that you guys are shocked that sensitive people have a problem with this COMEDY.They do that to every COMEDY that isn't afraid to make fun of things that they consider to be off limits.Check some of the other COMEDY boards and you will see it isn't just this movie.It's ridiculous.
