Comedy writing has really taken a turn for the worse these days. It's sad that the best these people can come up with is to run around like total jackasses like the movies title implies. I am by no means squeamish, but gross out humor is lame most of the time to me, and it fails to make me laugh as much as real quality wit. I'd much rather sit down and watch a classic comedy like Steve Martin's "The Jerk" when more comedy writers knew what they were doing. Actually, the last good comedy I saw was Death to Smoochy with Robin williams, Danny Devito, and Ed Norton. It's got a little bit of everything.
