In Reply to: "22 Jump Street:" the first gay mainstream American film. posted by tinear on July 10, 2014 at 09:19:48:
Automatically presuming foreign film is better or funnier or if it happens to has subtitles is just effete-ism at the highest level.
I saw it a second time and thought better of it than the first. There were a lot of things going on with the dialog and the "collegiate bromance" was far more serious than the "partner bromance". Remember, Seinfeld celebrated the male infatuation or "bromance" long ago. The idea that bruiser Channing could ever be giddy over a buddy is very funny.
Maybe you have a dirty mind or maybe . . . .
