Amongst all the raunchy scenes, the group of men are all loving husbands and fathers. They truly care for their familieswell being.
Lenny’s son was continually bullied, so when Lenny ran into his childhood bully, he eventually confronted him and wanted an apology. Lenny eventually taught his son the importance of standing up for himself.
The film is filled with disgusting, raunchy silly humor; to name a few; we see chocolate ice cream that appears to be excrement, a police officer urinates in a pool (the water turns blue), a guy falls asleep in a bus and kids put Cheetos up his nose (one which he removes and eats), and character’s vomit. One character loved the fact that he can burp, sneeze and pass gas, all in a row. There are also several diaper-related jokes.
