In a Q-and-A session following the screening, some in the audience questioned writer-director Etan Cohen about jokes that they thought crossed the line from satire to outright racism and homophobia.

It does feature two actors pretending to be black.

Why is it not Kevin Hart's movie, too?

Because that would put holes in the racist narrative.

Been wondering when political correctness would hit comedy. Comedians would have no chance if they went after them.

I mean, what did they expect?
It would have been better if Hart was the headliner and some lesser known comedian was the white guy.

Nothing like a contrived controversy to drive ticket sales and save a movie that would have sunk. "The Interview" says, "Hi".

Apparently most here have seen the movie.

For fricks sakes.. People just need to be offended to live life huh.. The people calling this film racist are the cause of why racism is still alive and well

I was kind of surprised by the spousal abuse that's featured in the previews. The wife lays into Kevin Hart's character pretty good with slaps and shoves.
I guess I am a bad person for imposing my values on them and assuming that they are married.
