I saw the freakin movie. It’s offensive. If the Farrelly Bros. featured a character playing a sexed up nurse, school teacher, flight attendant or waitress, I would have given them a pass. But why a Catholic nun? Are you saying, Hodar, that it was in no way meant to offend Catholics?
Sexed Up? A bit over the top, yes, it was a revealing outfit, but the didn’t portray her as a horndog, or even imply anything was going on with her or she was looking for men.. nor did they try to take cheap jokes about priests with young boys, which in a orphanage run by Church they could have.
I thought the scene was an attempt at a sight gag, that, really wasn’t needed, but hardly do I feel my faith has been assaulted. It wasn’t in best of taste, and it really served little purpose other than a sight gag. All in all they didn’t go into the gutter where they could have many times regarding catholicism.
I can say as a student of the Catholic School System, no nun I ever met looked that good in our out of her Habbit.. if they had, I might have studied harder.
Why the nun? Because if they were going to do this gag, its the only option they had.. there reqally werent any other female characters in the script other than the sexpot wife that was trying to bump off her husband, and since they played her as a sexpot from the get go, showing her in something revealing wouldn’t have been out of character.
The only other female characters in the film, besides the kids, were the nuns at the orphanage. So, take a character and put them out of character and you get what hopefully is funny. I saw this personally as an unneeded sight gag, but hardly do I feel my faith is under fire from it.
Deal with far worse things routinely on here by fellow “christians” attacking my faith nearly daily.
I haven’t seen it. I don’t know. Are all Catholic nuns unattractive, fat and ugly? Somehow I doubt it. What did she do, what did she say, how did she act?
Without some facts, so far we have 1 Freeper who said it wasn’t offensive, and now you are claiming it was offensive.
I don’t know. Some people go out of their way to find offense where none is intended. I heard that Pixar’s “Up” was offensive to Senior Citizens, yet I didn’t see it as offensive at all.
