For those of you who (wisely) don't want to venture over there, here are the scores. I love the fact that they blast Kevin for NOT showing male genitalia and for a "flippant Jesus statue"! I also love that this is a ChildCare project and they're reviewing an R-rated flick. Amazing that all of this hate and judgement is done in the name of God...
