Dennis Quaid is gloriously over the top as the TV executive called Harvey. He is almost a cartoon character, dripping with insincerity and crudeness. The shrimp eating scene alone is both sickening and funny.
shareLove it when Dennis Quaid is over the top! He gives an over-the-top performance as Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire.
shareAnd he REALLY ate all those shrimp, the director/writer says. Originally, the role was supposed to be for Ray Liotta.
shareI can't see Ray in the role. He would give a more subtle performance which would NOT work in this satire.
shareAnd I wondered why Ray Liotta is "thanked" at the end of the end credits!
shareHe was fantastic here. That shrimp scene was great.
shareThe fact they called him Harvey is hilarious , definitely a nod to Harvey Weinstein
It would have been so funny if she would have had to bang him to get the position
ABSOLUTELY....THAT WAS A VERSION OF QUAID I HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE...VERY IMPRESSIVE.
shareHe plays a cliché role of greedy cynical white boss. He is excellent at his role but I dislike the movie's obvious white misandry.
shareYou are looking for ghosts... This has nothing to do with race... I bet if you search to see who the top TV CEOs in the US are... most are white... so it does make sense to cast a white male in this role... But as a white male myself I don't think there is any specific white misandry going on...
