I'm certainly not a prude when it comes to films and cussing and stuff in films. I hope I don't come off as such. I have a pretty tolerant nature with film, but I was gobsmacked and struck over the head by a film I couldn't even get four minutes into.
"Hell and Back"
It's a stop motion animated film, with the voice talents of Mila Kunis (That 70's Show ... "Jackie"), as well as Susan sarrandon and many others.
Now, usually, with a stop motion animated film, I think that it's something for the whole family, so I did a download of it and put it on. I had to ask my son to leave the room after a mere minute (or less) as every single line of dialogue was laced with terrible language and descriptions of nasty stuff and then, even after three more minutes with my wife and I attempting to watch it, I just had to stop it, because I was really appalled with the dialogue and things described.
Look, I know that not all stop motion films are designed for kids. I understand that, but I think that it's a darned shame when a film is so filthy that it causes the very film to not be a hit. I just think of how long it takes for folks to make a film like this, (most producers of animated films, whether hand-drawn or stop motion, will readily agree that it is far more time consuming and costly and risky to produce animation than live action), and to cause you're film to bomb, (well, I didn't even hear of this film even being advertised, and it just came out this last year), is just such a waste ...
So, if you hear of this film, please note that it's NOT a family film and be prepared to have a strong stomach for dialogue.
