Link: Kudos to Emery (and her hubby) for turning their lives around - from being Fat to Fit. Unlike what reportedly happened to Emery Miller eariler this month. Knew that it would be her&David Spade hooking up.ĪlexG wrote: Bad as the treatment towards Kris is, its only fictional. In a current climate that’s opening itself up to being more accepting of a spectrum of sexualities, that’s heinous.ĪlexG wrote: A couple of reviews, thought I'd pass them along. “Grown Ups 2″ makes jokes at its transgendered character’s expense to maintain a “normal” suburban profile. When David Spade’s character is revealed to be romantically linked to Beefcake Kitty, that makes the group visibly uncomfortable. The joke is that she’s transgendered - although she clearly looks like a female bodybuilder, she may have a penis. Bodybuilder Kris Murrell plays a character named “Beefcake Kitty,” a muscle-laden athlete introduced in the fitness scene and resurfaced for gags over the course of the film. Link: “Grown Ups 2" fumbles harder when handing LGBT characters. There’s a lot that’s not funny in Grown Ups 2.
It’s not funny that a film with such a hackneyed anti-bullying message would condone bullying throughout its entire running time, and at no point even bother to tack on a little message about how wrong everyone was for doing it.
The men and women of Grown Ups 2 alike make callous remarks about her constantly, suggesting publicly, to her face and at horribly inappropriate times that she must have a penis because she doesn't fit traditional standards of femininity. Link: In Grown Ups 2, everyone just makes fun of a character played by first-time actress Kris Murrell because she’s very muscular. A couple of reviews, thought I'd pass them along.
