Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

I discovered this film reading a reddit Q&A with Alan Tudyk, and figured it'd be about my speed. I liked how this film was all about subverting expectations... at least, right up into the ending.

I really don't like a movie that ends (spoilers) with a off the cuff rape joke. I didn't like Riddick macho-ing the lesbian right out of the character in pitch black, I didn't like Eggsy going back to take the kidnapped and imprisoned character's offer of anal sex for saving her, and I didn't like the hillbilly knocking a woman out and dragging her away while everyone else shrugged, smiled and got on with their days. In Riddick's defense, the movie hadn't been very good up until that point, but as for the other ones, a last minute 'why would you tack that unrelated rape scene on?' sours my opinion of a movie I'd been rather enjoying up until that point.
