I'm not one to make a stink when white characters are changed to a black character in the movie, but his character was named Whitey Boyle?! That's more hardcore than the character Red in Shawshank.

I agree. However, he said bah correctly. Not sure how anyone can get that wrong. Also, why the F do all movies that are based in Boston have to say bah and cah all the goddamn time? Don't these people have other things to say? I can't recall any movie based in another city where the characters talk about cars and bars as much. Makes me wonder about Bostonian stereotypes, but I don't hear any one from this city complaining about it. Is there nothing but pubs and crime in Boston?
