: : I think for the first time since Mallrats, Jason Lee is going to be in a starring role. Its a movie with Julia Stiles, and the guy who directed Snow Day will be directing. Sounds bad, but Jason Lee is known for saving movies (Mumford, Kissing a Fool). Let's hope he can save this one.
: Hey Mumford was good anyway, but the only reason I wanted to watch it was because of Lee, If it's a Lee film, I'm gonna see it
I think Mumford was good too. I say Lee saved it because the audience needed a relief from the main actor's stiffness, and all around bad-actorness(its a word now). Its a pretty good movie, despite the obvious shortcomings of the actor who played the main character.
In certain scenes you can look into the main character's eyes and almost hear him thinking "I'm being upstaged by the guy from Mallrats?!"
