Saw this film the other day. The foul language ruined what otherwise could have been a great movie.

I had that same reaction when I saw "Patton."

..Rudy....and a cartload of other 'almost wonderful' movies....

Rudy is a great film....but the his friend's constant 'GD' throughout the movie is so offsetting, especially since they're in a Catholic University.

Goonies..is a silly, sweet movie.....with disgraceful language....some of it by the kids!

Having said this, strangely enough, I found the swearing in 'King's Speech' funny rather than gratuitous......

I guess context does matter.

Wasn’t Patton (the man) known for his profanity laced tirades? People are always complaining about hollywood changing history....now everyone is complaining that Hollywood hasn’t changed enough of history.
I wish they would clone Patton back to life, so he can curse & swear all he wants as long as they put him back in charge of our military. It’s about time we had a man’s man back at the helm.
