It was probably inevitable that he'd play a character like Ricky Bobby, and from people who've seen the film the result isn't that bad.
BTW, if he'd played another Mustafa or Mugatu, would the same people be complaining?
Saw it. I'm a Christian who wasn't offended. My wife, who has a rather overly sensitve radar for being offended as a Christian, was also not offended and we both laughed quite often during the film.
Lighten up people. The things the original complainer sees in the film just aren't worth whining about. It was NOT disrespectful imo.
I can't believe someone actually walked out of this movie thinking it was an attack on southern white men and christianity. This Ted Baehr guy sounds like a laugh riot.
HINT: If you're offended, then don't watch the movie.
I love films. I do not much care for anything much Hollywood has produced lately. What I find interesting about this reviewer is, his recommendation of World Trade Center. First, I would refuse to see this film because it is not entertaining. But I do not watch films solely because of entertainment value. I often watch films to be instructed. But both as a red blooded American and a Christian, there is no way I am looking for instruction on any subject from Oliver Stone a Hollywood leftist if there ever has been one, and there have been a boat load.
" "a racist, bigoted work that ridicules the Bible Belt, Southern white men, Christianity, Jesus Christ, the family, and American masculinity." "
If THAT is all it ridcules then where's the problem ? </s>
Death to the infidels!
Any movie with Will Farrell in it is guaranteed to suck like an Oreck.
Anything Will Ferrell is associated with I want no part of.
me think that can make a great tag line :D !!! did he leave anything out? what else can we be offended by?

Ted Baehr complains about movies with 'humanistic' themes. He's Jack Chick with a press pass. If stereotyping Southern White males is the big complaint William Faulkner should bear a large part of the blame since he was a pioneer in the field.
Why do these guys always insist on calling themselves "Dr."? Did they go to Medical School? If not, they shouldn't be engaging in such misrepresentation.
Yet another White Exploitation film for our youth to wastetheir money and their minds.
Jeeze, louise, take a pill and lighten up.
