Ed Helms Vs. Steve Carel


While I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I thought Ed Helms was fantastic, I have to say that I would have really loved to see Steve Carel playing Lippe.

Eh, Carel is talented but has played that type of character so many times I'm not sure that would have worked so well.

What's the difference? That's like saying you really liked Jean-Claude Van Damme in Double Impact but wish Steven Seagal had played the role instead.

Ed Helms is basically the same as Steve Carell. They are interchangeable.

Not really. Have you seen them together in the Office?
They both play obnoxious characters but they take their obnoxious-ness (I have to create a new word) into different directions. Watch the episode in Season 3 (I think) where Andy (Helms' character) punches the wall for more information.

Dude means nice guy. Dude means a regular sort of person.
