I'm not rules based at all dude, I'm just telling you how I react to these kinds of things. For me the overuse of familiar faces in films can sometimes have an adverse effect. Casting famous screen grabbers in roles which aren't written very well and therefore rely almost entirely on the magnetism of the actors may not work. It certainly didn't for me this time. I think it would've been a (slightly) better film if better actors were employed in lead roles and random acting superstars weren't cast in underwritten side-roles. I prefer unfamiliar faces and better written roles. That's all.
And I also won't get further into the discussion about the use of racist/stereotypical characters here, there has been plenty of things written about that online, but given how the discussion went on the trans issue with Chapelle, I just think it's a bit of a waste of time.
