They're only films at the end of the day, if you look hard enough then every film ever made will offend somebody in some way
Problem there Rik is that Inbred is a horror movie that pastiches Yorkshire life by adding the setting to a ready made pot noodle of bog standard horror cliches. Its also a cult title so only likely to be watched by people who get the satire. The Hangover series is justmean spirited and stereotypes minority groups. Big difference.

Same goes for The Dictator. Its so characaturish that its beyond critisism as its in no way targeting a minority group with its jokes, instead playing off peoples reactions to said minorities.
