"Non-native speakers" This is exactly why movies like this are not commonly made today. Most of the market is international. They do not translate to other languages or to non-native speakers well. It's a flashback to earlier comedic cinema that was all fast dialogue and double meanings.
Now most movies are dominated by limited simplistic dialogue and extensive action sequences aka boring as fuck.
Bullshit, I'm ESL and my favorite comedy sketches are British classics like Fry and Laurie, which are charged with complex word play. Don't blame Hollywood's incompetence on an international audience.
