I am actually British and although I was aware of the US-UK divide you mention, it definitely wouldn't be the first thing that would occur to a lot of Brits in this context. British men do also tend to get a bad rep in many US films (and from the start, it was fairly obvious who Lauren would choose), and to a cynical British movie-goer, it wouldn't be implausible that Tuck's Britishness was enough to put her off. Even if Tom Hardy isn't cursed with British teeth ;)<br /><br />Either way, This Means War was one of the worst films I saw last year, and I think there are bigger issues with the script and the audience's interpretation thereof.Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338258608489010879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546503153027090073.post-68655777950010942912013-02-23T19:18:05.334+00:002013-02-23T19:18:05.334+00:00When Lauren says that Tuck is "British,"...When Lauren says that Tuck is "British," she means that he's uncircumcised (as are most UK men). I am amazed at how many posters on the 'Net (on various movie discussion websites) didn't get this reference. I think it shows how insular we are as a culture -- that we know almost nothing about anything outside U.S. borders.Chayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682072560533065461noreply@blogger.com
