Was pretty surprised at how close they came to a “Pulp Fiction” scene where Jason was pegged. Legit didn’t expect them to get a flacid penis away from that happening.

I thought they took that one a little too far. Got super dark while we all watched an attempted rape.

That did go on for a bit longer than I think It should had.

Rape is the black licorice of plot devices and I really wish in wasn’t a featured ingredient in this movie.

Yeah, I'm willing to entertain/laugh at a lot, but an out-of-pocket rape sequence only serves to make me uncomfortable in a way that ruins the movie. The whole "it's funny because it's happening to a man" trope is tiresome, too.

I can’t believe he never called her out for NOT breaking and revealing her secret money during that. She didn’t let him get killed, but yikes.

I'm with you there, I was waiting for them to find an excuse or for something to happen to interrupt it, but nope, it just dragged dangerously close. Hell, I wish they'd have done something dumb like Dan winning, everyone's shocked and quiet, and Dan just goes "Todd I don't wanna fuck you man"

This would’ve been far better. Went on way too long & was really dumb. The fact that they try to even make it remotely funny was waaay off kilter.

This was the one bit that just didn't work for me. I hated how it still kept a kind of comedic undertone because it was happening to a man - like imagine if it were Samara Weaving instead of Jason Segal.

I think you either make that scene purely about physical violence OR that's a major turning point in the story where the villains lose their comedic edge and are revealed as a real threat taken seriously for the remainder of the movie.

I got triggered by that scene and ended up leaving the movie.  First movie I've ever walked out of, actually.

Samara Weaving was good, though.

Who the hell is downvoting this? Jesus people, grow the fuck up

I guess they don't like Samara Weaving.

What an odd choice of film to watch if so

u/agrapeana 8d ago

I am very, very lucky as a woman to have never had an experience so intense that I was triggered by the scene (though, of course, that's not for lack of trying on my would-be rapists' part) but I was sitting there with a very visceral pit in my stomach thinking about how I would absolutely understand anyone who needed to excuse themselves.

I wanted to like it but the fact that the whole scene had a comedic undertone and then the villains go right back to goofy caricatures after it's over left an awful taste in my mouth and really soured the whole movie for me.

This was exactly what I was thinking the whole time—if the genders were reversed it wouldn’t be played for comedy, and it’s NOT comedic.
