An Enjoyable film if that is what you want, and nothing of great moral import!!!

With everything going on nowadays a film like this being released would be laughed at because it A: wasn't gruesome enough; B: In todays society that "rape" would be thrown out of court, and obviously the girl gave in way to easily; C:And it seems that nobody wants to go see a movie that is just pure fun and isn't filled with bad language, bad acting, bad writing, replaced with special effects, to much loud sound, and gore, nudity, and shock value.

If one wants to see a good movie, watch this one; if one wants to see something of a -6 on a 1- 10 scale, go see something by Michael Moore!

This movie gets 5 stars, it got five stars when i first saw it, and it still gets them; just like "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum"!!
