Films with a single unnecessary F-bomb
I have nothing against bad language. I am a keen exponent of same in appropriate circumstances. But I deplore its use in films where it serves no discernible useful purpose, And, unfortunately, there is a trend towards plonking a single F-bomb into a film "Just because we can." By so doing, the film makers add nothing, but alienate part of the audience, being idiotic and offensive at the same.
How effing stupid.
This list features films with one, maybe two, F-bombs which add nothing to the film except causing offence. This is not to say that the films are kids' films - they're not - but they are mostly targetted towards an audience on the young side and/or with an expectation of family viewing (albeit not young children)
