Sure, nobody expects much taste or decency out of an Adam Sandler comedy, but even so, anyone who's seen the final movie can appreciate it reaches for the lowest-hanging, most offensive comedic fruit every single time.

Granted, there were almost 150 native extras who weren't offended enough to leave, but even so, the walk-out resulted in worldwide headlines long before the movie even hit streaming. Not that it had any effect at all on the movie's popularity.
