Sounds like the MPAA is following the Playbook of the RIAA in crying foul saying that "music sales are down because of piracy." When the issue is the piss-poor "artists" they are pumping out.

I could see if the movie in question was something like Superbad or Halloween, but Heartbreak Kid? I think the problem is that the over-the-top, gross-out Farrelly Brothers formula is just really stale now, and the Judd Apatow style has taken that audience. Personally I think their movies have gotten progressively worst since day one... I love Dumb & Dumber and Kingpin, really enjoyed TSAM, thought Irene and Hal were funny but flawed, and have struggled with every 'Farrelly formula' picture since.

His last few movies have not been what I hoped they would be. I didn't see this one and probably will never bother.
