Ooof. First, a word of warning: both of these earn that whole red-band thing. Nudity, foul language, and general rudeness abound:

Well now. Here we have a couple of "star-studded" ensemble sketch comedy flicks. The first leans harder on the gay jokes ("Go ahead, make me gay"), race jokes (blacks escape cops in a runaway dumpster), and religion jokes (let's cut a Jew's beard!), while the second opts for bodily humor (menstruation, gagging, "weird pubes"). But beneath all those differences, and relative star wattage aside (Adrien Brody vs. Richard Gere?), the two really do have a lot in common. Let's take a look! (Why? Because I sort of suspect that Movie 43 would rather not be associated with its more lowbrow, if equally crass, cousin. But blood will tell. On the other hand, I'd like to side with InAPPropriate Comedy, if only for its willingness to work in dangerous territory, but it looks so very badly done.)
Actresses gettin' nasty: Michelle Rodriguez says "P***y" several times in a row, with enthusiasm, while Halle Berry mimes cupping testicles.
