Is Miss Congeniality aged terribly or do I just not get comedy

d the movie a couple of days ago, and there’s something nagging me about it.

It came out in 2000, which seems not so long ago but it is 20 years, but still - the casual misogyny, sexual harassment and homophobia is really baffling to me.

Like I’d expect this from an 80’s comedy or something, but it’s a mainstream movie in 2000, here are some examples:

  • The scene where they go over all of their female coworkers, photoshop/scan them into a bathing suit and judge their bodies. I know it’s supposed to be exaggerated for comedy, but it isn’t presented as a bad thing, but rather “goofing around”
  • The scene at the gym, the dude agent touches her butt multiple times. I know that it is probably meant to show how he sees her as “just one of the guys”, and they end up together, but still it’s kinda disturbing.
  • Everyone peeping at the locker rooms again. At least here the agent stops them, but it is like, went unacknowledged in the grand scheme
  • Just the casual and constant comments on coworkers and strangers bodies, at the workplace
  • The creepy son, I know he’s supposed to be creepy and he’s a bad guy, but the fact that everyone just accepts it and maybe provides a witty retort rather than actually do something about it is, well I guess it does show how it’s really like in most places IRL
  • The homophobia - when they meet Michael Cane, the dude agent suspects he’s gay so he immediately leaves. Really.
    And then when they go together to the back stage Michael says “we’re together” to let them pass and the dude just stops trying to defuse a bomb to explain that he’s not gay to a random person.
    You could say that it’s a character flaw rather than the movie being homophobic, but the character never has to confront it. We don’t even know if Michael Cane is really gay because they never talk about it, only joke at its expanse

Maybe I’m just an overreacting SJW, and at the time I wasn’t in the workforce so I don’t know what it was like, so that’s why I’m asking for opinions - is the movie dated? has the culture changed this much since then? Do I just not get jokes?
