"...I saw someone, he looked, Asian, and he was speaking another language! I'm pretty sure it was ... Asian!"

That was such a funny scene! God I love this movie, I have to buy it on DVD because I only have it on VHS.

reply

Hell yeah, that scene cracked me up.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

reply

Stiller as the Sweet brothers was funny as hell. Im laughing right now thinking about it.

For me, the problem was that the subplot didn't really have a point to it. They kept going back to Ben Stiller as the murderer on trial throughout the entire film. I was thinking that perhaps the cable guy would tie into the murder...

Well, I think that was just meant to serve as social commentary. Much like how most of America was fixated to the television during the OJ Simpson trial, everyone wanted to know the final verdict from the Sweet trial.

exactly. The point was that it was a reflection on how he spent all his time fixed to his tv and look how he turned out, and thats how he saw everyone else becoming.

reply

LOL I just love that part!!!!


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

I also liked how they had Eric Roberts playing Ben Stiller's twins in the TV movie of the week, when the verdict hadn't even come out yet. Hysterical.

Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want.
