To be fair to the departed, it can be rather difficult to enjoy when you want to stab everyone to death every time they say anything.
I'm also going to guess you've only seen Shawshank on TBS, where they rather mangled the dialog to get the profanity cut out without inserting *bleeping* sounds. Several scenes with witty, insightful dialog between prisoners are turned to irritatting sequences of people looking back and forth at each other, then laughing. Weird.
Actually, that Margaret Thatcher moviemay be more over rated, by being described as 'bad' rather than face-meltingly terrible. Hey guys, how can we make the Iron Lady a sympathetic figure? Oooo, I know--let's show her old and destroyed by alzheimers, randomly flashing back to stuff she may have done and said or not.
