Yeah, I had the same reaction. All the drinking in the movie made me a bit uncomfortable. I never felt like that in the past. My 11 y.o. wasn't too into it, so I might have to pick one not so old for the next movie. Maybe a Roger Moore?
All I could do was think of Austin Powers ["Dr. Evil"] when Dr. No finally makes his appearance. I *loved* those movies. I nearly popped stitches after abdominal surgery watching those! Hilarious. I probably need to watch more comedies. My husband likes the serious, dark stuff. I'm more of a goofball.
edit: though I don't think [drinking] movies like the Big Lebowski would be a good idea right now!
