I can't remember God's name being abused as many times as Danielle states. Although, when you think about it, we would probably be saying "Oh my God" too if some alien force was shaving people in half. I agree with tgage.

There may be a few other cuss words uttered at other times. However, the "volley" of swearing demonstrates the strained relationship between the father and son. Nonetheless, this serves a purpose... The relationship plays itself out during the movie, and should provide some thoughtful discussion. Danielle,

I do have a bad memory sometimes, but I think that I would have recalled if there had been anything on so morbid a scale as that which you mention.

I chose not to see this movie simply because it does the latter well over a dozen times. Maybe you just missed that?
