Review of The Ladykillers (2004) by Goran M — 01 Sep 2009
By far my least favorite Coen brothers' production. Why you ask? Mainly the foul language. I'm no Puritan, not by a long shot, and frankly I know many, many good films that you wouldn't talk about in Sunday School, but there is a line between realism and gratuitous obscenity. Even ex-sailors, like myself, don't use more than one or two f-bombs in a sentence, much less p-bombs, c-bombs and xyz-bombs. It's one thing to be embarrassed watching a film with your Mom, but if you can honestly say you'd be embarrassed to watch a film in a room full of construction workers then it's just too much.
*NOTE: See also The Departed.
