Uh, he directed a bunch of episodes of Young Sheldon and Empire. 00:01:48 Young Sheldon I've seen my mom is a big fan of that show. 00:01:52 I think it's hot garbage, but. 00:01:54 You know, what can you do? 00:01:56 Uh, empire. 00:01:57 I I haven't seen any of I I've heard mixed things about it. 00:02:02 I mean, apparently it's it's pretty well regarded, but I I don't know, uh, he. 00:02:07 His first movie that he directed was pretty in Pink, which is a solid teen movie from the 80s. 00:02:13 Some kind of wonderful. 00:02:14 Which I don't know that I've ever actually seen. 00:02:16 That one. 00:02:17 The great outdoors with John Candy, and I think it's Dan Aykroyd, a guy that I used to work with was. 00:02:25 Telling me that he liked that movie and he was just going on, he he decided it would be a good time. 00:02:31 And by the way, never do this, OK? 00:02:33 He starts telling a story about a scene in a movie that I've never seen, and he he explains everything that happens and he gets to like. 00:02:45 I guess what was supposed to be the funny. 00:02:46 Part and he. 00:02:47 Says what the they said in the. 00:02:50 And then he just kind of lets out a little chuckle and shrugs his shoulders. 00:02:54 And I'm like, I I could have done without that. 00:02:56 I don't. 00:02:56 I don't know why you shared that with me, because I can't even remember what the scene was. 00:03:00 I've never seen the great outdoors. 00:03:02 I think I've seen like a little bit of it, and it it struck me as like a ****** ******* movie that I I didn't want any part of and. 00:03:09 I I might be wrong on that. 00:03:10 I might be, you know. 00:03:12 Going over the top, but as far as I could tell it didn't look good. Howard Deutch also did a movie called Article 99, which I am not familiar with. 00:03:21 He did grumpier old men, not grumpy old men. 00:03:24 Grumpier so the second one he did The Odd Couple. 00:03:28 Two, he did the replacements with Keanu Reeves. 00:03:32 He did the whole 10 yards, not the whole 9 yards. 00:03:35 He did my best friend girl, which I never saw. 00:03:39 And yeah, I mean I'm really, I'm on the fence. 00:03:41 I don't know about that great outdoors movie. 00:03:43 It seems like it would suck. 00:03:44 So I don't know, I don't think I'm gonna dive into that writing wise, we've got. 00:03:49 A guy named Jim Jennewein genuine jennewein. 00:03:54 I don't. 00:03:55 I don't know how you pronounce that name, but he wrote some pretty bad movies. 00:04:00 Stay tuned, which I've always heard and actually we hate movies makes reference to that movie. 00:04:06 Or at least just says stay tuned if they if they come across. 00:04:10 You know, they're in conversation, they bring up a movie that they haven't covered on the podcast and they think it would be like a good we hate movies, you know, subject they they say that, oh, that's a total stay tuned, you know, there's also Richie Rich, which is another Macaulay Culkin movie. 00:04:27 He made the first the live action Flintstones movie, and then he made Major League 2. 00:04:34 Writing wise, like, I haven't seen any of those other than The Flintstones, but I've never heard a single good word about any of those other ones. 00:04:43 I mean, just just horrendously bad as far as the. 00:04:47 The composer. 00:04:48 I mean, the score of this movie was pretty ******* terrible. 00:04:53 I mean, I I didn't. 00:04:54 It was really generic and it was cheesy at a lot of times. 00:04:59 It was. 00:05:00 It was composed by a man named Miles Goodman, and he's actually done some pretty solid movies. 00:05:06 I mean, I don't really remember the. 00:05:07 Scores of these movies being there. 00:05:10 The verdict, the original teen wolf with Michael J. 00:05:13 Fox footloose. 00:05:15 It's about last night, which I can't even remember what the **** that is. 00:05:18 Why is that not sticking out? 00:05:20 Little shop of horrors. 00:05:21 La bamba. 00:05:22 Dirty rotten scoundrels. 00:05:24 What about Bob? 00:05:25 House sitter Sister Act 2? 00:05:28 Dunston checks in and you know, I mean, that's that's all I could really find on it. 00:05:33 And and, I mean, I haven't seen most of those. 00:05:35 Movies other, you know, a select few of them, but they're. 00:05:39 Seeming like they're terrible. 00:05:41 You know? 00:05:41 Like maybe he's just got a reputation for doing bad movies or mediocre movies. 00:05:46 I don't know, but as we move on to the cast, we've of course got top billed Macaulay Culkin. 00:05:53 In this movie he plays a character named Timmy Gleason. 00:05:56 He is the obviously, you know you. 00:06:00 You you know Macaulay Culkin. 00:06:01 If you're an American living right now, you ******* know who Macaulay Culkin is. 00:06:07 I hope he was. 00:06:08 He was originally in the first thing, I think. 00:06:10 He really stood out in was Uncle Buck and then he was in Jacob's Ladder and I think he was uncredited. 00:06:17 In Jacob's Ladder, he was in both of the first two home alone movies, which were really his breakout movies, and he was in my girl and the good son where he played the bad son. 00:06:30 I believe I I haven't seen that movie in a really long time. 00:06:33 And he was also in that Richie Rich movie, which. 00:06:36 No thanks, and then his dad. 00:06:40 Had his character's dad. Excuse me. It's played by Ted Danson. His name is Ray Gleason. And you know, Ted Danson. 00:06:48 You know, I'm from cheers, you know I'm from the other show he was on was Becker News on later seasons of CSI. 00:06:56 Like super late seasons of CSI. 00:06:59 I don't know if they're still doing them. 00:07:00 Those are not. 00:07:01 He was in the movie three men and a baby. 00:07:04 He was in Saving Private Ryan. 00:07:06 I couldn't really find many other movies that stuck out, and it seemed odd to me that you had Ted Danson. 00:07:13 He just seems like he's been in movies, but really he hasn't. 00:07:17 Not not like notable movies. 00:07:19 Well, Next up we've got. 00:07:21 Headley hedly. 00:07:23 I don't know. 00:07:24 She played Teresa. 00:07:26 I I've heard that name pronounced. 00:07:27 I mean, I've heard Theresa. 00:07:29 Theresa, make up your mind, people. 00:07:31 Just what? 00:07:32 What do you want it to be? 00:07:33 And we'll go with that. 00:07:35 But just mate, just. 00:07:37 She is. 00:07:38 She actually plays a police officer in this movie. 00:07:42 You might know her from Glenn. 00:07:45 Glenn Headley. 00:07:46 I'm just gonna call her Glenn Headley. 00:07:47 She was in the movie The Purple Rose of Cairo. 00:07:51 She was in dirty rotten scoundrels Dick Tracy. 00:07:54 And I know her best from Mr Hollands Opus, which is definitely a movie I'm going to cover on this podcast at some point. 00:08:01 I just don't know when another guy that was in this movie was Saul Rubinek. 00:08:07 He plays a Bobby and he was in the original Wall Street with Michael Douglas he was in. 00:08:14 Unforgiven that Clint Eastwood movie from the early 90s or late 80s. 00:08:18 I can't remember which he was in true romance. 00:08:21 That's what I know him best from. 00:08:23 He was in the movie The Family Man, which I think is a Nicolas Cage vehicle. 00:08:27 He was in rush hour two, which. 00:08:29 I've forgotten rush hour two almost completely. 00:08:33 I mean, I I still enjoy the first one, even though it's a bit much. 00:08:37 You also get Hector all Elizondo, which you've seen him in other things. 00:08:41 I know him as the voice of Bane from Batman the animated series, but I mean he's a solid actor. 00:08:47 He's he's been in a lot of a lot of different. 00:08:50 Small parts there's like, OK, so in the beginning of this movie, we meet Ted Danson's character and then we meet Macaulay Culkin's character. 00:08:59 And Macaulay Culkin is riding with two people and you don't really understand who these people are. 00:09:05 And it turns out that it's like. 00:09:08 His aunt and her new husband and they want to go on their honeymoon and they're gonna ditch Macaulay Culkin at the Dads house, right? 00:09:18 Or at the dads. 00:09:19 Apt, I should say. 00:09:21 And so you're kind of confused, but like, I just found it hilarious because I spotted the guy that was playing. 00:09:28 Her husband? 00:09:29 It was the guy who plays like the chief on law and order SVU. 00:09:34 Or at least he originally did. 00:09:37 And I I just, I I only know him from that, you know what I mean? 00:09:40 So it's just like it stood out. 00:09:42 But anyway, so he's in this movie. 00:09:44 I didn't look up who is what his name was because I didn't think it was relevant. 00:09:48 I noted that. 00:09:49 So I made I I kind of took this in a different direction than I do most other movies. 00:09:54 I don't know, you know, if this is going to be the way it always will be with movies going forward, but for these bad movies, I really wanted to just have a little more of a. 00:10:04 A discussion of what happens in the plot and what terrible things are going. 00:10:08 On the first thing I noted, other than the guy from law and order SVU, was that it was it was this, like, Super generic score that was trying to, like, conjure emotions out of me that I I wasn't feeling that, just weren't there. 00:10:24 I didn't. 00:10:25 I didn't give a **** about what anything was. 00:10:28 I was going, I hadn't. I had no invested or, you know, no vested interest in Macaulay Culkin's character or Ted Danson's character. I didn't give a **** They were just. 00:10:39 Two people, I I hadn't been around them long enough to give two ***** about, you know, they they both seem like terrible people. 00:10:47 To be completely frank, even though you know, and if I refer to Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McAllister, I apologize. 00:10:55 It's just that's what I know him as. 00:10:57 He's Kevin McAllister from home alone. 00:10:59 That's who he'll always. 00:10:59 Beat me. 00:11:03 So my favorite part that like my first big observation aside from the. 00:11:09 Was Ted Danson? He plays an ex-con. You know, a guy that he was in. 00:11:16 And he is out now, and he's he's trying to orchestrate this coin heist, right? 00:11:23 And it's very flimsy and lame. 00:11:27 What what the actual plot is of this movie, you know, like what? 00:11:32 What elements are surrounding it? 00:11:34 It's just dumb. 00:11:35 I mean, I I really don't think it's a good plot, but and so these in the beginning of the movie Ted Danson is hanging out with these two other guys and they're also supposed to be ex cons, right? 00:11:47 And they just they they didn't look like they had done time. 00:11:51 It's terrible. 00:11:53 And they. 00:11:53 They had Ted Danson, and what I'm positive was a ******* wig or a weave of some. 00:12:00 I mean, like he had a ponytail and it's his hair was just a ******* matted rats nest. 00:12:07 It was horrendous, I mean, and it looked so dumb on him and he just does not. 00:12:12 Look, and I gotta. 00:12:14 Ask this question before I get to it in my notes 'cause it's already. 00:12:17 Certain to bug me. 00:12:17 Do people think Ted Danson is a good looking man or is it the thing that I always notice with certain guys that are, you know, they're taller, they're they're tall and dark, but I don't know if they bring it home on the handsome, but people act like they're still very good looking. 00:12:34 I, I just, I gotta know listeners, do you think? 00:12:37 Ted Danson is a good looking guy. 00:12:39 Or what's the story there? 00:12:41 I just I need to know the deal so. 00:12:45 So when Macaulay Culkin gets dropped off at Ted Danson's he he gives Ted Danson a picture he's like, here's a picture of me with mom and it's a it's a photograph of Macaulay Culkin sitting on the ground next to a tombstone. 00:13:05 With this like his arm up on the tombstone and I'm like, oh God, like that's that's how you break that. 00:13:12 The the mom passed like you couldn't, you couldn't squeeze it in like that's how you know the writing is ******* solid, you know? 00:13:18 It's like. 00:13:19 Oh yeah, you know, we couldn't just, you know, squeeze in there that, you know, his mother had passed away. 00:13:25 At some point we had to put Macaulay Culkin on the ******* ground next to a God Dam tombstone and have that be the way that that we find out. 00:13:35 And I I just, I busted out laughing. 00:13:37 I mean it, I. 00:13:39 I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a joke, or if it was literally that hamfisted of a way of telling you that the mother had died. 00:13:47 There's, so there's a. 00:13:48 The big thing with this movie, it's, you know, it's supposed to be a comedy, all you know. 00:13:53 You'll see more of it as I describe it, but it it's supposed to be a comedy that is in the vein of home alone. 00:14:01 And it's like, you know, Macaulay Culkin's character is this troublemaker kid, you know? But he's really smart and he's outsmarting these guys. 00:14:09 That are doing this heist and stuff and. 00:14:12 It's it's ******* stupid. 00:14:14 But anyway, there's a bunch of awkward interactions with everybody. 00:14:18 I mean, everybody onscreen has an awkward interaction or two, but Ted Danson has an interaction with Macaulay Culkin that he he asks him if he's dating. 00:14:27 And Culkin is like, I'm 11 and Ted Danson is like, yeah. 00:14:32 That's that's good that you wait. You know, I didn't start dating until I was 11 1/2. 00:14:39 And it was just crickets. 00:14:40 It was it was supposed to be funny and it was just, it fell so flat for me. 00:14:45 I couldn't ******* believe it. 00:14:47 And it was just, it's like it was supposed to be an awkward comment to make, but it was also who was who was supposed to be laughing at that 'cause it ******* It wasn't me. 00:14:57 You know what I mean? 00:14:57 If you would have made that joke. 00:14:59 In front of another. 00:15:00 Adult and the other adult would have laughed. 00:15:03 I would have been like, that wasn't funny enough for you to ******* laugh at. 00:15:07 I'm sorry, basically, I mean, Macaulay Culkin knows that his dad and and the other two guys are planning this heist. 00:15:15 He's just, you know, he he knows that they're up to no good. 00:15:18 He just doesn't know what they're, you know. 00:15:21 Plan is, see that he hasn't discovered it yet. 00:15:23 And lo and behold, he's he. 00:15:26 He's like playing basketball, like jumping on the bed, and he dunks into a trash can and a newspaper falls out of the trash can. 00:15:34 And circled in red marker is this ******* article about this, this coin, these rare coins that are being transported. 00:15:46 And this is what, you know, like how he finds out that his dad is orchestrating a coin heist, right? 00:15:53 And so he doesn't go to great lengths to stop. 00:15:56 His dad from doing it because I don't think he finds out soon enough if I remotely remember right. 00:16:01 So he like once he determines that's what they. 00:16:04 Done, he gets. 00:16:05 Ahold of the coins and basically holds them ransom because they're supposed to be, you know, selling these coins to to a buyer and the buyer is delaying them for a week. 00:16:17 So basically, Macaulay Culkin is just gonna **** with these guys and make him do **** that they don't want to do. 00:16:24 Like, go to the park and go to baseball games and museums and aquariums and **** like that and it's just my God. 00:16:33 It it is. 00:16:34 It it's so stupid. 00:16:36 So that's that's the premise. 00:16:38 OK, we get a lot of like then mixed in with the sentimental score we get this like super generic guitar music. 00:16:47 And my notes say that generic guitar music is never a good choice for a score because I literally cannot think of a time because. 00:16:56 I I can't think of a movie that uses it. 00:16:59 I can't. 00:17:00 I definitely can't think of a movie that uses it successfully and does it, you know, and it's it's good. 00:17:05 Another note is, uh I saw, you know, basically, there's a scene where Macaulay Culkin is laying out what's happening and he's explaining it to these these ex cons. 00:17:16 And his dad and he is eating like a sandwich and drinking plain milk. 00:17:21 And I just ******* gag at anytime I see somebody drinking plain milk, I just. 00:17:28 ******* gross. 00:17:29 It's a situation where you're eating something very chocolaty, like a chocolate chip cookie or a brownie. 00:17:37 Plain milk is fine, but plain milk? 00:17:39 Any other situation, I can't ******* do it, can't, can't do it a little bit. 00:17:44 Not only with the score, but they also the soundtrack. 00:17:48 Has some old soul tunes and you know rock soul tunes and one that they use during the opening credits is money by Barrett Strong, which is you know, the one where it's like the best things in life are free but you can give them to the birds and. 00:18:07 These, you know, it's it's that kind of thing, that song, you know, it plays the whole opening credits and then they bring it up again in this movie as they're going around, you know, like they're they're talking about these coins and they're, they're, they're having to go around and do these things that Macaulay Culkin's character wants to do. It's just ******* terrible. 00:18:28 I I looked, you know, I I took a break from watching the movie at about 32 minutes in, and when I paused it and I saw how long the runtime of the movie was, which was an hour and 49 minutes roughly. 00:18:43 I was like, there's no ******* way this movie needed to be this long at all. There are 1,000,000. 00:18:48 Blocking things in the 1st 30 minutes that I could have cut out of this movie and it would have. 00:18:53 Been fine, they go to. 00:18:55 The they go to this. 00:18:57 So they they're doing these things that Macaulay Culkin wants to do. 00:19:01 And they go to an aquarium. 00:19:03 And Ted Danson says, how did you get so smart? 00:19:07 And Macaulay Culkin says, I don't know, it certainly doesn't run in the family, and Ted Danson laughs slightly. 00:19:15 And I just, I was stone faced. 00:19:17 I mean in in their defense, I am. 00:19:20 I'm not an easy laugh for, you know, like I I I would struggle to laugh at certain things, especially like when I'm by myself. 00:19:28 It's like there's nobody to to spur me in that direction, you know? 00:19:32 So it's like, whatever. 00:19:34 But it was a ******* terrible joke just to give you the basis of, like, why this movie? 00:19:40 Is so notoriously bad. It's. 00:19:42 Just jokes like that, that are that they just don't land at all. They go to a baseball game and he and one of the the ex-con friends, the, I think it's named Bobby. He trips and falls on some souvenir bats and then like a comically smaller uh. 00:20:02 Stuntman steps in and does the fall all the way down the stairs, and it is so it there's such a stark contrast between the actor and the stuntman that you couldn't ******* believe how how how much. 00:20:17 It didn't look like that guy. 00:20:18 It was it was that bad. 00:20:20 But Cody Culkin is. 00:20:22 You know. 00:20:24 I never really thought Macaulay Culkin was a particularly great actor. 00:20:29 I mean he. 00:20:29 Was a child actor, so it was like you grade him on a curve, right? 00:20:34 But I mean, The thing is, it's like, I never thought he was that good. 00:20:37 Even by 'cause I mean, there are some really good child actors, you know, there are child actors that can really ******* bring their a game. 00:20:44 And they know what they're doing. 00:20:45 But with Macaulay Culkin it was all. 00:20:48 Is he was decent, he was. 00:20:50 He was good enough that he wasn't so bad. 00:20:52 I couldn't stand to watch movies that he was in. 00:20:55 But he's not anything special. 00:20:57 And in this movie, it's probably the worst I've seen of him and I mean, he was really young and Uncle Buck and he had to like, you know, he had to be reading lines off of. 00:21:08 You know, cue cards, basically. 00:21:10 I think they said something about John Candy had his had Macaulay Culkin lines taped like on a card to his back or something so he would remember what to say Ted Danson. 00:21:23 Also, Ted Danson is doing this. 00:21:25 He's he's terrible in this movie and he is doing this. 00:21:29 ******* accent, like? 00:21:32 It's like a forget about it, kinda. 00:21:34 You know, when you log goes, you know? 00:21:37 I mean, he's just. 00:21:37 Like, he's not. 00:21:38 Really like he doesn't sound like Sylvester Stallone and Rocky, but he doesn't. 00:21:44 He doesn't sound like Ted Danson, does. 00:21:47 You know what I mean? 00:21:47 'cause Ted Danson himself does not really have an accent that I. 00:21:50 Can tell I have to blame. 00:21:52 The director of this movie. 00:21:54 Because the director. 00:21:55 You know, I I I read his resume. 00:21:58 I mean, he's clearly not very gifted and doesn't really have an eye for corrections that need to be made. 00:22:04 When they call cut 1 to reshoot something, whatever that we get, we get a lot of ****** comedic gags like physical comedy. 00:22:14 Like I talked about the guy falling down the steps. 00:22:17 There's also another gag with the same guy where somebody goes to cast a fishing rod and the hook and lure, like, catch on the guy's face and he's like, who? You know, like he's doing this weird ******* thing with his. 00:22:35 You know, he's acting like he's like in, you know, such incredible pain, which it wouldn't feel good, but it's it's like such a ******* age-old joke, you know? Like, Oh yeah, let's have this fish hook catch on somebody's face. 00:22:47 There's a scene where Culkin is. 00:22:51 He's dancing and lip synching to the song do you love me by the contours? 00:22:58 Right. 00:22:59 And so he does this and it's like, what are you doing? 00:23:02 Like, what? 00:23:02 What is this? 00:23:03 You know what I mean? 00:23:04 Like, it's just this, this scene in this. 00:23:06 Movie that it's like that. ******* cut that out, you know what I mean? This movie is an hour and 49 minutes long. 00:23:13 And it has no business having a scene like that in it if you need to cut some **** you know what I mean? 00:23:19 If it were 90 minutes and it had something like that in it, I would say, oh OK, I get it, they were just trying to get it to 90 minutes, so they left that in. 00:23:28 That was not the. 00:23:28 Case they also he was also terrible at lip syncing. 00:23:33 By the way, he was like, he he really did not like. 00:23:36 I mean, he lip synced in ******* home alone and he did fine, I thought, but this movie? 00:23:41 ******* terrible. 00:23:42 He makes a bet with the guys that, you know, 'cause. 00:23:45 He's taking these coins away from them and he's got them somewhere for safekeeping and they don't know where that is. 00:23:53 And he changes the he calls every night wherever it's being stashed, and he changes the password and he tells the person that if if he doesn't call every night to, you know, like within 24 hours, they need to take the the, you know, the the coins too. 00:24:14 Police headquarters or what? 00:24:16 And it's like, OK, and so they have this, they go play putt putt, which is what I call miniature golf. 00:24:23 I don't know what you call it. 00:24:24 I call it putt putt. 00:24:26 Anyway, you have this bat where Culkin for some reason like I don't know why he would risk this, but he says he'll you know for. 00:24:36 He'll play them, all three of them, and if if he wins, they get to go to baskin-robbins, but if he loses? 00:24:46 He'll tell them where the coins are and how to get to them and all that stuff, and of course, you know they don't ******* win, blah blah blah. 00:24:55 I noticed while this putt putt is happening, dancing is, you know they're showing their different shots and they're showing them making their way through the game of putt, putt and dancing. 00:25:05 It's just like. 00:25:07 The the one in Happy Gilmore where he's he's hitting the ball and it goes up the clown's tongue. 00:25:13 And the clowns teeth come down and stop the ball, and dancing clearly waits until the teeth start coming down to hit the ball. 00:25:24 And of course the ball doesn't go through and he ******* loses his **** about it and. 00:25:29 It's like, what are you? 00:25:29 ******* expecting to happen, Ted Danson. 00:25:32 There, there are just so many. 00:25:36 Glenne headly dress it. 00:25:40 She's she's dressed pretty horribly and like her coworker pointed out to her, and so she changes into something a little more presentable because she's going to try and, like, go undercover, so to speak, with and like, talk to Ted Danson and stuff. 00:25:55 So, you know, she's not like that particularly good looking, but she, you know, she does look way better. 00:26:00 Give her that. 00:26:01 I I feel like just throughout this movie, everything, all the interactions, they don't feel like good interactions, they don't feel like. 00:26:10 Well written interactions at all and like. 00:26:13 I'm, I'm not. 00:26:14 Exaggerating when I say there's hardly a good interaction that doesn't feel flat. 00:26:21 I mean as it's that bad. 00:26:22 So at one point Macaulay Culkin convinces the two other guys to, you know, stay behind. 00:26:30 Because they're convinced they're going to find like, a treasure map and find the coins. 00:26:35 And then Macaulay Culkin and Ted Danson go out and do whatever and the whole sequence of them following the treasure map throughout the city it should have been. 00:26:46 You know, it should have had a lot of funny moments and man, oh God, I mean, one of them falls in a dumpster at one point and, you know, I mean, just it's such stupid **** you know what I mean? 00:26:58 It it's so ******* lazy. 00:27:01 And then they end up, you know, after this treasure map they're they end up in. 00:27:06 A church and it it just. 00:27:10 It's so stupid what they're doing like they like. 00:27:12 He clearly like. 00:27:13 Macaulay Culkin has clearly LED them on a wild goose chase, and they should have realized that by now. 00:27:18 But they just don't want to believe that he's that smart. 00:27:22 And they end up at the church. 00:27:23 They think that they found it. 00:27:24 They go to, you know, they basically like end up thinking that the coins are there and they take. 00:27:29 The container that they think the coins are in, and it's actually like the sacrificial wine or, you know, whatever the hell it's. 00:27:37 So I don't, I don't know, church stuff. 00:27:38 I'm really sorry. 00:27:39 I I honestly don't. 00:27:40 But it's like, it ends with this, like horrendous song that I don't even. 00:27:46 I don't know what they're going for with it. 00:27:47 I'd never heard the song before it was, but it was really bad. 00:27:51 It's I I kept noticing that jokes would be made on the screen. 00:27:57 And one of the actors would tell the joke and then another actor would like chuckle at the joke and. 00:28:04 Whenever you know if it's a funny joke, I'm going to laugh as a viewer. 00:28:09 I don't need the actors on the TV to tell me that it's time to laugh, because I should ******* know when it's time to laugh. 00:28:15 That didn't happen. 00:28:16 Like they they kept laughing at the the jokes because they thought it was going to like, clue people in to like chocolate stuff. 00:28:24 But it was not ideal. 00:28:26 I mean, it was just not my cup of tea. 00:28:28 No, no, that the jokes landed. 00:28:30 I I don't. 00:28:32 I I kept noticing that I wasn't feeling anything for these characters, you know, I wasn't really, I I wasn't really loving any of the things that they were doing. 00:28:41 I I didn't really sympathize or empathize with them at all. 00:28:45 I just as I'm watching I'm just like who gives a **** about this kid like he's he's not a particularly. 00:28:52 Enjoyable, likable kid, you know. He's, he's kind of a dingus too, you know. And then Ted Danson's, you know, obviously he's like a criminal. 00:29:00 And so it's like, do I really want him to, you know, do I want this police officer too? 00:29:06 Act like she's being one over by him, Fox now, like and I obviously don't care about those, those two guys that go on the treasure hunt. 00:29:16 Like I I really don't give a **** about what they're what they're doing or and I also don't care about the police investigation. 00:29:23 None of it is is, you know? 00:29:26 Appealing to me at all, there's there's one line that was only one thing left to do. 00:29:32 Break out the floppy shoes and funny noses, 'cause. 00:29:35 We sure as hell look like clowns. 00:29:39 Just ******* crickets across the board. 00:29:42 Holy **** And that was that was read by like the police chief or something. 00:29:46 You know, there's like, it's like one of these gags where like one of the ex cons is eating a chili dog and he, you know, he he goes to bite into it and he like, basically. 00:29:59 Like deliberately dumps it on himself and tries to make it look like an accident, you know? 00:30:04 And it just is so ******* stupid. 00:30:06 And and then they bring up ******* After that, they bring up money by Barrett Strong again. 00:30:12 They ******* do it again. 00:30:14 I just. 00:30:14 I can't ******* believe it. 00:30:15 So, Oh yeah, those were my notes for the movie and and I I'm going to have less notes for serving Sarah, but these are my notes for OK casting notes. 00:30:25 And this was my favorite thing ever because it's so absurd I can't even believe it. 00:30:32 Notes Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Bill Murray, Kevin Costner, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Keaton, Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell, Tim Allen and Robin Williams were all considered to play Ray Gleason, which is Ted Danson's character. So was it just basically every ******* actor? 00:30:52 On the face of the earth at the time, I mean that was every popular actor that there was and they went with Ted Danson, I think. 00:31:00 Not like, I think they wanted to get those guys. 00:31:04 And all of those other guys were smart enough to say no, no, no, no, no, I'm not getting in this Macaulay Culkin movie. 00:31:10 I don't think that, you know, they they've captured lightning in a bottle or whatever and like they're going to actually land it. 00:31:16 With this, there's a couple of scenes where Macaulay Culkin is recording with a video camera and he's like narrating. 00:31:24 And it's it's just the under the unfunniest of unfunny. 00:31:28 I just, I oh God. 00:31:30 And ******* Ted Danson voice. 00:31:32 It keeps coming and going with the accent and so it's just it really ******* 00:31:37 As far as plays, I guess I could say the movie was not shot completely terribly. 00:31:44 You know, it wasn't like one of those laughably bad productions. 00:31:47 So that's something glenne headly seems like she acts well in this movie. 00:31:52 She doesn't seem like she does. 00:31:53 Bad given. 00:31:54 The subject matter and the the writing criticisms would be, you know, Ted Danson, ****** ponytail, most of the acting by anybody else, especially Culkin and dancing. 00:32:05 I don't feel any sympathy for these characters. 00:32:07 The story is underwritten, the jokes fall flats, the bad guys are cartoonish. 00:32:13 It just it all. 00:32:14 Feels like it wants to be a home alone type movie so bad and it's just not so there. 00:32:21 There's also a little bit I wanted to talk about. 00:32:23 I was reading on Wikipedia 'cause. 00:32:25 I always try and find something out about these movies to talk about and one thing that they said. 00:32:30 On Wikipedia was Macaulay Culkin's character was supposed to have a short haircut in this movie, but Culkin, who had let his hair grow at the time, liked his looks and did not want to cut it. 00:32:42 His father Kit Culkin, demanded his son be allowed to keep his hair the way it was, pointing out that his character. 00:32:50 Was a working class boy and not a clean cut prep school one. 00:32:55 He got to keep his long hair. 00:32:56 OK, pretty uninteresting piece of trivia and it it'll remain that way. 00:33:00 But then there was I looked on IMDb to see if there were any trivia there. 00:33:06 Or there was any trivia there and it said Macaulay Culkin was given time to let his hair grow out in order to play Timmy Gleason. 00:33:14 But as soon as filming was done, Culkin wasted no time in getting his haircut back to the way it was. 00:33:20 So like which is it? 00:33:22 Is it that he was just he wanted his hair long or is it that they? 00:33:26 Had him grow it out and he wanted to cut it short. 00:33:30 Kolchin earned a Razzie Award which say what you want. 00:33:33 I mean like the Razzie Awards are iffy to me. 00:33:37 They're not particularly cool. I mean, it seems funny on the surface, but like giving people awards for achievements in badna's for movies. 00:33:49 Is it's not that funny. 00:33:51 I mean, like, especially if you look up like Halle Berry going to the ******* Razzies to accept her Catwoman award for worst actress, it's not pleasant. 00:34:00 Like, it's it's an unpleasant thing to watch her, like, laugh about. 00:34:04 How terrible the thing she did was. This film marks the second time that a cast member from the situation comedy Cheers played Macaulay Culkin's father. The first was George went in the music video Michael Jackson Black or White in 1991. 00:34:22 Gives a flying **** about that. 00:34:24 The cake shop Danson character works in is the same meat shop scene and so I married an axe murderer. 00:34:33 That's confusing wording. 00:34:34 I mean, it's the same meat shop. 00:34:37 It's, I mean, it's the same building as the meat shop. 00:34:40 I'm assuming is what that means anyway, the runtime of this movie it says 104 minutes, but on Prime Video, which is what this is on by the way, it said 109 minutes, but whatever. 00:34:53 It was way too ******* long. It should not have been anywhere near as long as it was. The budget was $30 million. 00:35:00 The worldwide gross was $35 million. IMDb Rating 4.8 run tomato critics score 3%. Rotten Tomato audience score 24. 00:35:12 Percent personal rating 1.5 out of five stars. I don't know what the .5 really got you, but it's terrible. 00:35:21 Don't ******* watch this movie, even as a joke serving Sarah released on August 23rd, 2002, directed by. 00:35:30 Reginald Hudlin, Hudlin. 00:35:32 OK, he directed house party. 00:35:34 The Boomerang with Eddie Murphy. 00:35:36 The great white hype, I think that has Samuel L Jackson in it. 00:35:39 I think I've seen the cover of that. 00:35:41 The ladies man, which is that Tim Meadows Saturday Night Live type movie Martial which I've heard of. 00:35:47 I can't remember if I've seen it or not. 00:35:50 The Black Godfather, no idea what that is and safety? 00:35:54 Never heard of it. 00:35:55 Producers so Dan Halstead was the producer on this movie. 00:36:00 And actually, not all terrible movies. 00:36:03 You know, he did Garden State any given Sunday, the virgin suicides, swat. 00:36:09 The art of war Nixon composer Marcus Miller. 00:36:14 He clearly collaborates with the director a lot. 00:36:16 He did house party Boomerang and then he did above the rim. 00:36:23 He did the great white hype, the 6th man and head of state with Chris Rock. 00:36:29 Star of this movie is Matthew Perry, who you probably know from friends. 00:36:35 He plays Joe Tyler in this movie who is like one of these I can't remember what I already forgot what the title. 00:36:43 Of, you know, like what their profession is, but he's basically one of these people that serves people their subpoenas, you know? 00:36:49 So he was in friends as Chandler Bing. 00:36:53 He was in fools rush in with Salma Hayek. 00:36:56 He was in almost Heroes 3 to tango the whole 9 yards and the whole 10 yards. 00:37:04 For that matter, the kid I think with Bruce Willis, I think that's that was with him. 00:37:09 Yeah, he was in 17 again with Zac Efron, who I still would argue like by now, Matthew Perry or I should say by now Zac Efron is old enough to be as old as Matthew Perry was probably playing in that movie. 00:37:22 And I. 00:37:23 I don't think there's much resemblance at all. 00:37:25 And then there was, you know, he was in don't look up, which I didn't even realize he was in. 00:37:29 I forgot all about it, if you know. 00:37:31 I probably noticed at the time, but he must have been pretty forgettable. 00:37:34 We've got Elizabeth Hurley, who is hot. 00:37:38 I mean, a bad movie or not, I I am always compelled to point out when somebody is hot. 00:37:44 And Elizabeth Hurley is very good looking. 00:37:47 She plays Sarah Moore in this movie. 00:37:49 She was in dangerous ground with Ice Cube, Austin Powers Ed. TV bedazzled, which I've covered on my blog.site.brandon@random.wordpress.com. 00:38:02 One movie that I would consider seeing with Wesley Snipes that she's in is a passenger 57. Apparently it's like. 00:38:10 One of her first movies? 00:38:11 I don't know. 00:38:12 I've never heard if it's any good, and I didn't really look into it to see if it was a decently rated movie Bruce Campbell plays. 00:38:18 Sarah's husband, Gordon more, you know, Elizabeth Hurley's character. He plays her, her husband, you know, you know, Bruce Campbell from the the Evil dead movies. 00:38:29 You know, he's in all three of them. 00:38:31 Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness. 00:38:35 Yeah, sure. 00:38:36 I I'm not a big fan of the. 00:38:38 Evil dead movies. 00:38:39 I can't get into them. 00:38:40 I don't. 00:38:41 I don't get what's so appealing about them that, you know, so many people rave about them as being these great ******* movies, you know? 00:38:48 And I just, I can't get there, you know what I mean? 00:38:51 I'm just, I I don't love them. 00:38:53 Bruce Campbell makes a cameo appearance in the three. 00:38:57 Sam Raimi Spiderman movies with Tobey Maguire. 00:39:01 He always plays a different character. 00:39:03 He was in Darkman with Liam Neeson, the Hudsucker, proxy Congo, the quick and the dead. 00:39:10 You know, basically everything that he's in outside of evil dead is a bit part, you know, he's not really a leading man type outside of those. 00:39:18 Movies Vincent Pastore is the character Tony, who is like a rival of Matthew Perry's. 00:39:25 At the agency they work for whatever he was on. 00:39:29 I mean he he's his name is Tony in the in the movie, but he he was on The Sopranos. 00:39:35 He was in Carlito's Way, which I need to revisit. 00:39:38 He was in the hurricane, he was in Corky Romano. 00:39:41 And that's, I mean, I don't know what the **** else I mean, Terry. 00:39:45 Terry Crews is in this movie. 00:39:47 I love Terry Crews. 00:39:48 It's it's too bad that this had to be like on his resume so early. 00:39:53 I'd really had to hurt him. 00:39:54 But anyway, Jerry Stiller has a little bit role in this movie. 00:39:57 Cedric the entertainer was in this. 00:40:00 How do I put this movie? 00:40:01 It it's just, it's just not. 00:40:04 It's bad. I mean, it's just bad guys. It's not. So there's like, you know, back and forth where like, you know, I saw some trivia items where they were basically like praising Matthew Perry's improvisational skills and they said that he came up with these one liners on the spot for a lot of them, but. 00:40:24 Any of the ones that I could think of that, he said in the movie. 00:40:26 I was like, no one should have been proud to have written that or to have performed it on an improv level. 00:40:33 You know, like you should not be proud of yourself for that. 00:40:36 That's like, it's mostly terrible. 00:40:38 For instance, he calls his coworker Tony Nostradumbass and I'm like, OK and like he's he's saying it. 00:40:46 He's he's being he's insulting him. 00:40:49 He's being, he's, you know trying to call him dumb. 00:40:52 He's doing it in the. 00:40:54 Just the worst way possible. 00:40:56 It really doesn't ******* work for me, I I guess. 00:40:59 I mean, I I feel like I've never noticed this before, but there aren't many Elizabeth Hurley movies. 00:41:04 Elizabeth Hurley is not a good actress. 00:41:07 She's I I didn't ever think she was bad in Austin Powers, but I love Austin Powers so and she's also overwhelmingly attractive. 00:41:16 So it's it's tough to say. 00:41:17 I mean this was only like 5 years. 00:41:19 After Austin Powers, but there are a couple of things about this. 00:41:23 So the basis of this movie is Matthew Perry. 00:41:27 Goes to serve. 00:41:29 Papers to Elizabeth Hurley character Sarah, and after he serves her, she convinces him to flip on her. 00:41:39 You know, I'm turning her in and get her husband because I I don't really know. 00:41:46 I don't understand. 00:41:46 Like I don't believe that the way they presented it in this. 00:41:49 Movie is how it actually works, but they said that basically like if the husband served her papers for divorce, they would have to to have court in Texas where he is. 00:42:00 Is and she? 00:42:02 If she would have served him papers for divorce, they would have had to do it in New York, right? 00:42:08 OK, so I don't know that that's actually true. 00:42:11 I have no idea. 00:42:12 I assume it's actually probably your place of residence, you know? 00:42:15 That would be the most logical explanation to me, but I don't know. 00:42:19 But I did. 00:42:20 I read. 00:42:21 That so when Matthew Perry goes to serve Elizabeth Hurley like she tricks him and she gets away originally and she runs they they had this big foot chase and he ends up tracking her down and you know, whatever. 00:42:36 But it turns out that like actually the the way serving people papers works. 00:42:41 And I don't know how much of this stuff actually happens, like with people pretending to be flower delivery services and they they're actually serving papers. 00:42:50 I don't know how often that goes on. 00:42:52 I know that in the like what I looked up on this movie. 00:42:56 We basically if you want to serve somebody papers, you send it certified mail or you tack it to their front door, or if if that doesn't. 00:43:06 If neither of those two work, you can ask the Court to have the papers served in a different way, but it doesn't sound to me like they tried the first two. 00:43:15 You know what I mean. 00:43:16 'cause, as far as she knew, you know, Elizabeth Hurley's character does not realize that anything happening, that anything is awry. You know what I mean? 00:43:24 And so they could have easily just done that. 00:43:26 So as I mentioned there is, you know, you see some familiar faces, you see Jerry Stiller, he's kind of like a, a guy that's that Matthew Perry is bribing to, to help him. 00:43:37 And the thing about this movie is, you know, everywhere that Matthew Perry goes where he's supposed to be serving somebody, he. 00:43:44 Is doing this like. 00:43:46 Character, you know, he's pretending to be somebody and he does, you know, pretends to be British, he pretends to be, you know, Latin and I I don't it. 00:43:57 It's ******* bad. 00:43:58 He's not good at it and it's not he's not saying anything that's humorous, you know, I. 00:44:03 Mean? That's the worst part. 00:44:05 There's a scene on a bus. 00:44:07 Where, you know, basically the scene where Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley make their deal that Matthew Perry is going to work for her and he says I'm gonna kill that *** ** * ***** about, I think, like his coworker or whatever. 00:44:21 And this this kid who's like a little overweight next to him kind of gives him a look like, what the **** dude? 00:44:27 Matthew Perry says mind your own business, Porkchop, and I'm like, this is the guy I'm supposed to be rooting for. 00:44:35 This is the guy that is supposed to be likable and, you know, relatable. 00:44:41 They play a ******* oh, I'm sorry I won't get started on this, but I'm not a I'm not a fan of Kid Rock and they put kid. 00:44:47 Rock in the soundtrack and it's it's like that cowboy baby. 00:44:51 Don yeah, not a fan. I I mentioned Perry English accent is the worst. I get the sense that they want me to laugh at these quote UN quote jokes throughout the movie that just are are much like the last movie I talked about. Terrible. Just I mean just awful. There's a scene where they have like a uh. 00:45:11 A luggage conveyor at the airport and somehow I can't remember exactly how but. 00:45:17 Elizabeth Hurley gets caught on the conveyor and Matthew Perry has to rush over to save her, and her jeans are caught in the conveyor, and so Matthew Perry rips them off. 00:45:31 Which by the way, that would not be as easy to do. 00:45:33 Like to just rip jeans that quickly, like especially they making Matthew Perry out to be. 00:45:38 This total ******* weakling in this movie. 00:45:40 But anyway, he he rips off like half of her pants, like 1 pant it. 00:45:46 She's got like just underwear on underneath which I'm like that's I'm. 00:45:50 I'm so glad that you, you know, wanted to be classy enough to have that scene in your movie where we have to see Elizabeth Hurley in her underwear, but whatever they show a guy following an actual map. 00:46:02 Like a a paper map in this movie and I just thought, man, the past was exhausting. 00:46:09 I mean, just ******* terrible. 00:46:11 And Mike Judge is in this movie. 00:46:13 Apparently he was like a last minute replacement he wasn't supposed to be in. 00:46:16 Yes, and he agreed to be in the movie and he plays this, this guy behind the counter at a motel lobby. 00:46:25 And Matthew Perry is pretending to be like a headquarters, you know, corporate guy who's inspecting the place, and Mike Judge basically tells him to **** *** 00:46:36 And Elizabeth Hurley who is wearing like she found this getup where she's wearing a she's wearing AT shirt that says trailer trash on it, which I don't know who that shirt is for. Who is? 00:46:49 Who is using a shirt that says trailer trash on it? 00:46:53 Like the only. 00:46:54 Way is like if if you were really just trying to be that ironic, I guess. 00:46:58 But it's so bad and she's wearing that and she's wearing this, like, schoolgirl skirt and it's, I mean she, Elizabeth Hurley. 00:47:08 I mean, she looks good. 00:47:09 But like, what the **** But anyway, she's like, so Matthew Perry doesn't win Mike judge over at the counter. 00:47:15 And so she's like, let me see if I can do it. 00:47:16 And she, like, tries to convince him for a minute and then she just flashes him and it's like such a tired bit to do in a movie of like. 00:47:25 Oh yeah, this guy. 00:47:26 You know, if he, you know, sees your ***** he's going to do whatever you want him to. 00:47:31 Yeah, OK. 00:47:31 I mean, that's kind of ******* dumb, but what can you do? 00:47:35 I said that Mike judges scene in this movie was the best scene and it was terrible. 00:47:44 It was a terrible ******* scene. 00:47:46 When they're in the motel room, Perry and Hurley are talking to one another and, you know, they're kind of getting sentimental. 00:47:52 And talking about how they ended up, where they're at and all this stuff. 00:47:56 And Matthew Perry says his dream is to own his own vineyard and as like, that's the latest ******* you know, lay missed thread of any story anywhere. 00:48:10 Like ever. 00:48:11 I can't. 00:48:12 I can't ******* believe. 00:48:13 That they put that in is like the thing he wanted in this movie, Terry Crews is character. 00:48:18 He he reminds me a lot of ice from Arrested Development who was like a no nonsense bounty hunter guy. 00:48:26 He, but I mean Terry Crews is actually for the kind of movie this is, he does as good as he can. 00:48:32 You know my question to you is yet again, is Matthew Perry a good looking guy? 00:48:38 Is he? 00:48:39 I mean same way with Ted Danson is are they good looking people? 00:48:43 If Matthew Perry is like I get the tall and dark thing with with Ted Danson a little bit. 00:48:48 But Matthew Perry, what's is he good looking? 00:48:54 Tell me and I'm happy to answer these questions on if you want to know if I find somebody attractive. 00:49:00 Sure, you know, I I could probably tell you if it's not something too personal. 00:49:04 You know, if if they're not standing right there. 00:49:06 That could be awkward, but there's a scene also. 00:49:09 In this movie where they're at the husband ranch, this guy comes out of a barn and just assumes that this man and woman in plain clothes like Elizabeth Hurley, Hurley is wearing her like trailer trash. 00:49:23 Get up. 00:49:23 The guy just assumes he's a the Mike that Matthew Perry is a veterinarian and that he's. 00:49:29 He's there to help them. 00:49:31 Masturbate this bowl and they show the scene where, you know, Matthew Perry has this big long plastic glove on and he's reaching his hand down in the bowl to, you know, to get to the prostate or whatever they show, they have an animatronic. 00:49:49 You know, like, I don't know if this is something they. 00:49:51 Really do it probably is, but it's like a fake animatronic. 00:49:56 Whole or not, bold cow. 00:49:58 It's like it's eyes open and it's it has expressions and I'm like, I don't ******* think so. 00:50:04 I don't think they're going that far with this **** but I don't know. 00:50:07 But that old quip of like, it's it's like in Jingle all the way when they're like looking for the guy to play turbo man and they just find Arnold Schwarzenegger. 00:50:16 And they're like, oh, you. 00:50:17 You're the guy, right? 00:50:18 And Arnold Schwarzenegger just like, uh, yeah, huh? 00:50:22 Yep or Oh yeah. 00:50:25 So I'll give another example of a bad joke in this movie. 00:50:28 They're trying to figure out how to masturbate this bowl, or to get it aroused, basically. 00:50:35 And Matthew Perry says, have you tried playing a Barry White CD? 00:50:40 And Elizabeth Hurley is like, ha ha, no one, no one reacts to him at all, including myself. 00:50:48 There's a scene. 00:50:49 Where you know Tony, the guy that Matthew Perry works with, he gets shot and he's having bullets. 00:50:55 Pulled out of his *** and the nurse goes to shave him and the shaver she's using. 00:51:00 Thing is like flinging hair everywhere and it's like what Shaver does that? 00:51:06 Why would you want a shaver that did that? 00:51:09 Matthew Perry does his Latino voice, which is exceptionally bad. He is enamored. You know, he goes to it's it's the husband, how it's Elizabeth Hurley's husband house, and it's it's. 00:51:20 Like he he. 00:51:20 Gets in there with this Latin accent, pretending to be the housekeeper's second cousin or something. He's just in love because he sees this giant wall of wine and. 00:51:31 I'm like, who gives a **** You could go ******* anywhere in the world and find that that's not impressive. 00:51:37 You know, I I just don't. 00:51:39 I don't get. 00:51:39 It and I. 00:51:40 Mean they end up basically like forcing this romantic connection between Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley and it just it it's not there. 00:51:48 Like, so Elizabeth Hurley is filling up this tub. 00:51:51 And as he's kissing her, the tub starts to overflow and it's like it fills up in record time. 00:51:56 And when he points it out to her that the tub is overflowing, she runs away and he kind of smiles like, ha, tricked you, you know, like got out of having to kiss Elizabeth Hurley hahaha, you know? 00:52:10 Like what? 00:52:11 What is this? 00:52:12 You know, one of my biggest criticisms is is that this could have easily destroyed Terry Crews is or Amy Adams is careers, because this was before Amy Adams was even on the office, and Terry Crews had not done Jackshit before this movie, just a few. 00:52:30 Notes, trivia type things. 00:52:34 Matthew Perry apparently was in rehab for painkillers at one point, which slowed production. 00:52:41 OK, so apparently they shot a bunch of scenes that he didn't appear in to keep production moving. 00:52:49 One of the trivia items was a good number. 00:52:53 Of Joe's Matthew Perry character, witty, sarcastic remarks were improvised by Perry. Wow. 00:53:03 I mean, that's improv. 00:53:05 'cause there's not one thing in here that I'd be like, Oh yeah, I thought of that on my own. 00:53:09 I I I. 00:53:11 You know, put my seal of approval on that one. 00:53:14 When Joe Tyler is trying to serve Gordon more in the arena and the camera is focusing on the table clock at 7:00 o'clock we can see. 00:53:25 Fair play written on the table, which is ironic given the context. 00:53:30 That is not trivia. 00:53:32 That is not anything. 00:53:34 Stop ******* posting this **** to IMDb. 00:53:38 It's so ******* stupid. 00:53:39 I don't even understand why. 00:53:42 Why would you put that? 00:53:44 It's ironic, given the. 00:53:46 It's not. It's it's not anything that's not worth noting. That's not, uh. They point out that Matthew Perry's weight changes throughout the movie, as can be seen by the size of his neck. 00:54:00 Matthew Perry's weight change was due to his drug addiction that occurred while filming. 00:54:06 Wow, you know, as I mentioned you really usually to serve somebody papers you just have to certified mail deliver it to them. 00:54:13 There's a scene in the end of the movie where Bruce Campbell's character is struck in the head by a 3 pack of beer. Like 3 cans of beer hit him in the head and it doesn't knock. 00:54:26 Come out cold like it would in. 00:54:27 A lot of movies. 00:54:28 But it knocks him over and I'm like, I don't think if I got hit in the head even from like a great distance above me, I don't think that that would knock me out like or knock me down. 00:54:39 I should say I I don't like that. 00:54:41 That old gag of of people being knocked over or knocked out by those things. 00:54:46 It's always ******* stupid, this film, really. 00:54:49 Wants me to feel like I was rooting for the Perry Hurley romance all along.
