You guys seemed actually offended by the movie and the notion that someone might like it . . . .
. . . .people who don't like it seem, to me, to approach it with an emotion bordering on loathing, that it doesn't deserve.

I just found the execution of the plot and characters tasteless and unlikable, and I personally do not understand why people like it so much. I'm not trying to make any objective points about it - this is entirely my personal opinion. I don't loathe it exactly - I do not, for example wish that it had never been made - I simply do not desire to ever see it again.

I think it was something I picked up from Ryan and Rogov, but also from you, to a lesser extent: a sense of a snobbish attitude towards the movie. You guys seemed actually offended by the movie and the notion that someone might like it.

You forgot Will Ferrell.
And Adam Sandler.
