I could live on a diet of movies which include "Gladiator", "The Patriot", "Patton", and just about any WWII or sports movie, but sadly, to that homeschooling mommy crowd that has tried to take over conservative morality, those are too rough. He is going to have to find a medium.

Sure, and it won't be that hard to do. Example: recently we rented "Rat Race"... what a hilarious movie. (Highly recommended, by the way.) Of course, some parts of it are a bit coarse. Still, my wife and kids enjoyed it so much that I went and rented "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (on which "Rat Race" was based).

Verdict: my kids liked Mad World better. "It's not as gross," they said. Sure was funny, though. And a better ending, too.

All Hollywood has to do is listen to my kids, and resist the temptation to do things like add unnecessary dog-butt jokes to "The Grinch" and fart jokes to "Shrek". A G rating isn't a curse.
