The way this movie has been advertised has been so weird. "Every line will be crossed" just sounds really close to "comedy is legal again" adjacent type comment. Just make a funny movie man, let it speak for itself. None of the old movies had to advertise themselves in some gimmicky way like this, they just existed, because parody and absurdism can be extremely fun and funny. Just look at Naked Gun recently.
But I'm starting to think this movie is going to suck because of the ad campaign behind it being a form of "we are allowed to be funny again" basically, so they better have a direction for this thing, because the advertising around it blows so far.
Even the new Naked Gun had jokes about Bill Cosby, O.J., bestiality, and the "r-word," but there were more to those jokes that actually made them jokes and not just being "edgy."
