EXTRA Crank 2

I watched Crank 2 the other day and besides being completely over the top, I loved it. One thing it did was play off stereotypes- completely and utterly. Every character in the movie was a stereotype, Hispanic hoodlums, gay black bikers, asian with thick accents. But I ask, when a movie comes out so over the top with stereotypes, is that truly a stereotype? Its like Harold and Kumar, where the same principle stands- they want to play with the idea of stereotypes so they can get extra laughs during their movie, but at what cost? Personally, I think that the joking around with these kinds of things help ease the stereotype, if not, make them seem more trivial in everyday society because they are joked upon in movies.
