    My work in the the medical field (although financial in nature, little patient contact) largely involves pediatrics, and the sexualization of children is a real hot button issue for me-I find it very, very disturbing. I'm known to lunge for the remote every time they show Jon Benet's picture on TV.

      but there are a bunch of little JBR types in the beauty pageant at the end and THAT was quite disturbing... and was meant to be. It rips the kiddie pageant world to shreds by letting it speak for itself without - much - comment.

      But yeah... no real reason to see that.

      ... is the mirror it holds to that ugly child "pageant" scene.
      Despite being a comedy, I think the film has a strong underlying morality.
      It is necessary to engage with unpleasant aspects of society in order to comment on them.
      Otherwise an anti-war film could not show the horrors of war.
      Laughter can be a powerful weapon.
      The majority of the audience at the pageant react exactly as you have; with horror at the girl's routine, whilst their daughters look exactly as sexualised as Jon Benet.
      For me the strength of it is in the fact that you watch this AND find it funny and then you THINK.
      Another powerful weapon.

  It did have a few chuckles, mostly from Arkin's heroin & porn-addicted Grandpa. That this is Oscar material shows the H-wood crowd is more disfunctional than any movie family.

    Pretty much what I would expect from your other comments.
    Your political content is... appalling.
    Your dress is back from the cleaners Mr. Hoover.
