..in their review here. The review merely refers to the "non-PC" use of the "r word", apparently joining those who claim this is a PC issue. I find this rather disappointing considering the strong stance of the USCCB on disability issues and not congruent with their position on societal inclusion for people with disabilities.
The film contains nonstop rough language and profanity, crass expressions, strong violence and gore, torture, brief irreverence, drug use, scatological humor and frank sexual references. The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is O -- morally offensive

It is a good thing that whe are boycott this movie becaues of it's degrading people with disablities. I wonder why the African-American community are not standing againest the stuff that the movies protrades us African-Americans by Robert Downey Jr playing a black character, the use of language and grammer by thinking that it is the way we talk,(which is not true), and the use of the "N" word? I found that very insulting and I found it sad that my people are degrading each other.
I agree, this is a disappointing review. No mention of human dignity, and the use of "schizophrenic" to describe it's comedic character. Ouch! Totally misses the point, and makes me wonder if it would be rated acceptable if all other foul language were removed, and we were just left with the points with which we all find so offensive.

anonymous- I thank you for your comment. You bring up very important issues that deserve attention too.
Janet- I wondered the same thing - it skirted around the issue so much.
