I thought it was mostly a satire of a certain kind of cop rather than anything more sinister, and that their quick trigger fingers constituted a major point of that satire, although I can see why it's possible not to find it quite so benign. Mixing comedy and violence and/or gunplay is always a little fraught.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08544047015325046422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28006784.post-69576151631762700652009-04-08T23:27:00.000-04:002009-04-08T23:27:00.000-04:00I watched Role Models recently, simply because I w...I watched <I>Role Models</I> recently, simply because I wanted to see if McLovin' had any other tricks in his bag. He did, so that was refreshing. Still, I'm sure that he'll always be known as "McLovin'," whether to his detriment or not.<BR/><BR/><I>Superbad</I> was definitely entertaining for me (albeit somewhat cringe-inducing at times), and I can't help but find Michael Cera incredibly endearing (he will always be George Michael Bluth to me). My main fault with this movie lies in the unnecessary glorification of gun use and the depiction of the police. Not like cops don't warrant some satire and criticism sometimes, BUT... the scenes with Seth Rogen & Bill Hader seemed entirely too indulgent... not in a good way. <BR/><BR/>And that's what I have to say about that.<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
