I'm no prude, but what's so "Family" about a film that exposed my kids to jokes about each of the following topics: sado-masochism, porn flicks, people having sex, male genatalia, homosexuality, kidnapping, & theft, all delivered with a script salted with some pretty foul language? We won't be tuning in again to the "ABC Family" channel w/ the popcorn and kids.
