We need to make a definitive list...
Hi. I was back home with mum and dad for a brilliant birthday weekend (literally the best with my favourite people in the world). There was however one problem.
I watched Bruno with my parents last night.
Yeah. Don't do that.
For the festive period where a lot of us will be spending time with our families, we need to create the definitive list of films NOT to watch with them. I'm not talking horror or even violence - just the ones with really inappropriate 'scenes of a sexual nature'. Here's a start:
1) Bruno
2) Borat
3) Superbad
4) American Pie
5) There's Something About Mary (I rememeber my whole family watching this one year and my mum jumping up and covering the screen during the hair gel bit)
Please leave some more films in the comments below and I'll add them to the list...

It might seem exciting when you unwrap it christmas morning, but when your parents start questioning if thats how you spent your first holiday away with friends you'll realize patience really is a virtue!

But I’d really like to see Your grandma while watchin that movie.
I remember one evening, when I caught my grandpa watching THOSE movies, when I was going to take a shower. I think that I was more embarrassed, than he was :D

I managed to get myself caught up watching this with my parents..
usually with awkward scenes in films or programs I can grin and bear it until its over... but this film is on-going awkward with NO END!!
Even I had to get up and walk out!
I advise you all, don't do it!!!
