Yeah, I didn't know any of this and I watched it a few days ago. I had half seen the trailer and it just looked like a "cranky old man complains at everyone" comedy.
What a bait and switch. I knew I should have turned it off the second the trans character got introduced but I decided to give it a chance to get better...maybe one day I'll learn that will never happen.
he hated people who wouldn't drivy Chevys but he just instantly accepts a trans person
Haven’t seen it but this is so on par with Hollywood’s magical thinking. Literally no one has any negative thoughts about genderspecials unless they are clearly the villain. I like art portraying itself as realistic to actually reflect reality, even if it’s uncomfortable for people who are always one day without validation away from suicide.
Thats such a Hollywood view of “normal people” the avg middle class blue collar American has brand loyalty to a car brand and hates people who doesn’t also have that same brand loyalty. My immediate family has had very unfortunate luck with Chrysler/jeep/dodge vehicles and the Ford we owned was a pain to work on… so it’s Chevy and foreign made cars as our preference just because of our negative experience with the other 2 major US brands. We harbor no ill will to other people who purchase other brands. In college me and a friend had some light ribbing over her preference of Ford trucks and mine towards Chevy but neither one of us legitimately thought less of the other for it. It was just something to joke about.
But the avg middle class person is definitely cool with whatever social degeneracy Hollywood is in favor of in x year. As long as that person drives the same kind of car as them

It must be fucking Volvos and SAABS in the Swedish original then, I’m guessing..?
Groan…
Edit: It is. Like, literally, it is.
hol'up...old man Hanks may have a point there...
Alright, Hanks may be questionable, but George Strait aint.
