This is a morally reprehensible and disgusting film which children should not be allowed to watch. The language used early on in the film by the budding author should have been censored out, and the only truly moral part of the film was the views and actions of the father in it.
My daughter loves the film and it has made me want to watch The Taming Of The Shrew. Being based on a play by the greatest playwright ever, it would be hard to ruin. I had wanted to watch this film many years ago when it had first come out, but never got round to doing so. Watching it now, it is from a different perspective as I am from another generation.
My wife joined us during the film and I think that she liked bits of it. Maybe, she will watch it all and we can enjoy it as a family.
