Why does a bear need to watch his language?

I can totally see how it's disturbing actually, and to some degree, do agree with you, it's just an oddly-worded complaint is all. And really, if you already knew the plot of the movie, it should've been obvious - it's Seth MacFarlane. He doesn't just tone it down unless he's working on The Flinstones.

Here is the other trailer with some new scenes. I still think the movie looks funny and I plan to see it.

I never said that the bear needs to watch his language. I said that a bear that swears is more "Why am I watching this"-inducing, than it is funny (though using "funny" loosely, since this concept really isn't funny at all).

I can totally see how it's disturbing actually, and to some degree, do agree with you, it's just an oddly-worded complaint is all. And really, if you already knew the plot of the movie, it should've been obvious - it's Seth MacFarlane. He doesn't just tone it down unless he's working on The Flinstones.


...Okay, so what? Yeah, it's Seth McFarlane. Big deal. That doesn't change anything.

I think what he means is, that it's Seth Mcfarlane, do you really expect something better from him?

ALL of his comedies are the same.

Sex Jokes, racial slurs, sex jokes, physical humor, sex jokes...
Don't try to be something else. Don't try to be less. Great things are going to happen in your life. Great things. And with that will come great responsibility.

You forgot gay jokes. And 1980s TV references no one gets.

Im going to see this. It's obviously a dirty version of Paul.

It's also nice to see Mark Wahlberg having fun.

After the first three seasons of Family Guy, yeah I do expect something better from him.

I'm wondering why Mark Wahlburg would lower himself to a McFarlane comedy.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.

Because he wanted to have a good time, obviously. Most of his films are serious - and he's a shitty serious action, or action - and he's a piece of wood. Planks of wood have little 'action'.

This doesn't look like a good time.

The Other Guys was a good time.

And I thought I was the only person who thought he was an awful actor.

Mostly, he is. So is Donnie Wahlberg, Matt Damon & Bet Affleck. Theyre all interchangeable.

The ONLY other Mark Wahlberg movie is remotely 'good' is Max Payne.

And I dont consider The Departed a Wahlberg film since he's only a supporting actor. And The Other Guys made me want to snap my own spine and eat my own ass.

He was the same plank of wood in that as he was in Planet of the Apes (2001). Everyone else in that movie out-shined him.
