jeezus, Payne & Taylor really did (co-)write Chuck & Larry. Have they disowned the result?

obviously Jurassic Park 4 is going to be the best movie ever you guys

lost world ending is garbage but theres goldblum & the seriously exciting trailer/cliff scene
t3 is better than all these movies though really

you'd figure after sideways being pretty successful, payne wouldn't have to crank out shit* like 'chuck and larry', which makes me think he really wanted to do it.
*even if one thinks sideways is "shit", it is certainly a different kind of "shit" than chuck and larry

payne disowned chuck & larry after sandler came on, insisting it was 'sandlerized' - his o.g. ending was the two dudes actually falling in love

Nicholson's remark at the time that he found a way to play Schmidt by combing his hair a certain style illustrates just how shallow his/Payne's approach was.
It's very, very common for actors to find their way with little things like this. What Nicholson said he did here is called "working from the outside in" and it's not a superficial way to approach a character.

Morbius, would you rather have to watch the Wire or Chuck & Larry?

Yeah, I know, the Brits do it all the time, but it didn't work here.

The only time that approach has worked for Jack is in Prizzi's Honor.

maybe the greatest thing about this movie is that all of the main characters remain reasonably likeable throughout and i found it quite easy to sympathise with them all fairly evenly.
OTM - everybody in Election does stupid/wrong shit and is fairly delusional, but each is also humanized and made sympathetic at key points in the film.

Uh, pretty sure he meant the movie, otherwise he would have said "doesn't".

The Brits do the outside-in "character-building" approach more often.

yo 'chuck and larry' isn't like A MILLION MILES from 'citizen ruth' and as fer possible 'they fall in love' ending -- payne and taylor copped out on ending 'ruth' definitively amirite?
it's not a great film.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:10 (sixteen years ago) link
did it originally end with ruth falling in love with the fetus and making out with it?

i dunno, sexual relations with a fetus is pretty gross no matter how you slice it
― latebloomer, Friday, 8 February 2008 02:38 (sixteen years ago) link
er, perhaps "slice it" was a poor choice of words
"Since I grew up without a dad, you might assume, psychologically, I was looking for a father figure. But that had nothing to do with it at all. It was just that Dave was so strong, and he made me feel so safe and protected..."
