    Loving the nuanced view of the film! Im happy to see someone talking about how something couldnt be made today in a positive light! It's always just people complaining that they either can't acceptably be extremely hurtful to groups of people for no reason or making it up. Plenty of recent media includes racial slurs, like Curb Your Enthusiasm or Shameless, and plenty of the other things that people claim to not be allowed today. I think now these things are just used in media more poignantly. Now when slurs or sexism or whatever is in media, it's presented and then condemned or simply not used in a neutral nor positive light. Media isn’t unallowed to use certain words or convey ideas, but the creators of media are more informed about what types of messages are harmful to groups of people and general society, and so are consumers, who are able to vote with their wallets.

    Such a good movie. I'm amazed at how anachronistic it already feels, being just 10 years old. The media landscape has changes so much. I feel like a contemporary movie about the state-of-the-art in modern media depravity would have to focus more on the influencer world or bot farms posting rage-bait on Twitter.

    Jacob simply became a product of natural selection. He was thrown in a pit with violent animals. Not only did he manage to survive, but he also managed to be a king among them. As tragic as what happened to him, his overall determination, resiliency and desire to survive toughened him up for better or worse

    yea im gonna have to disagree with you on this one, for a straight comedy, i put dirty work up there with anchorman, superbad, happy gilmour, team america and most other acclaimed comedies of the 90's and 2000's. say what you want about the dumb plot, but i dont need a clever plot to laugh. the hysterical bits in this movie are where the gold is combined with norms deadpan reactions to all them. i guess if your reviewing this a movie in general, 6.6 is fair, but as a comedy, i gotta go 8.9
