PAUL RUDD: ALSO Y

love the dog named 'anwar sadat'

haha the dog was a funny thing yeah.

also i could rly relate to paul rudd's inability to leave a message on voice mail because that is how approximately 96.71% of my messages sound of ppls phones

schef, I went into it really expecting to laugh at least once. Found nearly all the Rudd stumblebum cutesy stuff way too self consciously look-at-me, not funny.

Some blogger said the writers learned everything they knew about men from beer commercials. Thw women were all cardboard cutouts.

Did none of these folks expect the goodwill gesture of Andy Samberg playing a "regular guy" gay would be wiped out by horrific "eww my mouth tastes like the homo who kissed me, I better use Comet" gag? I gagged.

thread for i love you man starring paul rudd jason segel rashida jones lou ferrigno

Role Models was funnier to me than anything up there since Clueless, and he wasn't old enough in that to be as funny as he is now.

would like to revise this with addition of role models plz

Do not endorse anything that might rescind any win by Wet Hot American Summer.

I bet "the goodwill gesture of Andy Samberg playing a 'regular guy' gay" is a totally hollow gesture unless we get to see Samberg wrapping those pillowy lips around some other guy's face.

point taken, we don't

sounds like 'i love you, man' should have been directed by david wain.

(btw i watched role models over the weekend, so great. whoever said that the outtakes were the best was right, like paul rudd and elizabeth banks kissing for the last scene and busting out the old "you taste like a burger/i don't like you anymore" bit)

It's just barbecue sauce!

Yeah I complained about this in my review, though I went with a gay friend who found that scene unfunny but not homophobic.

i get why youd read that subtext into that scene but i thought they made it pretty clear that it was the taste of cigarettes not the homo kiss

^lame dodge! only homos smoke anymore

oh come on, the cigarette taste is mentioned 3-4 different times in a 2-minute scene. it wasnt ace ventura, thats for sure.

i'll take yr word on that

wo ist shape of things?

yes this movie sucked. neil labute should go ahead and quit. (maybe he already has?)

oh man - t-shirt, trenchcoat, eager fresh face, playing pilotwings - i love him

i have to admit to a soft spot for those crappy neil labute cruel-privileged-people movies. it's pretty indefensible but, c'mon, that ending of shape of things is so lol. his career has really taken a turn for the nutty btw:

2010 Death at a Funeral

2008 Lakeview Terrace

2006 The Wicker Man

wow I had not realized until now that the Wicker Man was him

he really does hate women doesn't he

Our Idiot Brother is an enjoyable film albeit slight.

the first film he's done that's gotten decent reviews in eons

elizabeth banks does a credible parker posey impersonation through the entire film

paul rudd does a very good dude from leibowski

basically the entire movie seems like other movies, but I liked it.

my butt itches

I kind of miss the early days of the Daily Show when they would get Paul Rudd as the guest any time the real guest had to drop out for whatever reason.

saw 'our idiot brother' and i just want to cuddle paul rudd so bad right now

his role as the creepy lamaze instructor on Reno 911 was pretty fantastic

Also, this is amazing:

eh, no embedding...

just got no love for this Rudd guy

Our Idiot Brother would've been great, if it hadn't had the "happy ending for everyone" Hollywood ending. It was still okay (and Rudd was indeed endearing in it), but it was no Role Models.

Tuomas as Francesca Fiore and Bruno Pontz Jones in a Kids In The Hall sketch: "They would never kill hero in American movie, ah? No. With them, it's always the happy ending. Always the football player throw the ball for the big win, ah? Yes. Always the puppy, licking the face."

I saw Our Idiot Brother last night and it was pretty nice (the "slight" assessment above is in the right direction though, but I don think that's a real problem)but that end scene where they talked about the candle recycling is one of the funniest things I've seen in a comedy film in years.

Tuomas, I'd say Role Models suffered worse for the forced happy ending.

"just a couple of guys and a dog makin' candles"
"what a cliche!"

In Role Models the happy endings felt organic,because the stories culminated with them, the whole movie was about earning those happy endings. Whereas in Our Idiot Brother the happy endings felt more tacked-on, something that had to be included because (according to the cliche) no story can end on an ambiguous or open note. (I'm not talking about the candle-making thing, that was fine, but was it really necessary to introduce a new love interest for the protagonist literally in the last scene? That was totally deus ex machina.)

No, the new love interest was not necessary and it was too neat for my liking (I also seen In A World recently and it was another slightly unusual comedy that had a forced crowdpleaser end it really didn't need) but surely the line in Role Models "when I get out of jail can I play with your 9 year old son?" (can't remember the exact line) underlined in a wink to the audience how unbelievable the resolution was.

I'd imagine that all three films had some of these things imposed on them.

I mean... these were light-hearted movies full of likable actors playing likable (if flawed) characters finding themselves in mild peril to comedic effect. If you can't handle movies like that ending on an up note then I don't even know...
