Gotta say that I really love the vulgar naughtiness of “The Thunder Song,” because it manages to be as sweet as it is crude… because Mark Wahlberg plays it so straight, with real vulnerability.

After that, the crudity starts to be a little less cute. But it looks like — *fingers crossed* — this might actually be a fantasy that sends up extended male adolescence rather than celebrating it. I shall remain cautiously optimistic about this one…
