The film has been praised for it's R rated approach to a male on male sex scene. Yet Roger Ebert had a problem with known "conservative" Vincent Gallo including a scene of male/female oral sex (with his former real life lover) in Brown Bunny.
In fact, Rog trashed that film completely and discussed audiences at Cannes booing. When the film came around to general release, he dropped his pissing contest and said it was a decent film.
Who cares what the critics think? Rog has had that thumb where the sun don't shine for the past decade. His "votes" are worthless without Siskel.
I know, I never really liked Roger Ebert either, when he was with Siskel or with Roeper. They just seem rather out of touch with the common movie goers. Plus, Ebert is way too hard on most of Adam Sandler's films. Instead of just having two pretentious old guys review a movie, they should have a show with a kind of "Review group." It could have 6- 10 people of different ages, genders, and races each giving their own opinions on a film.
