Probably the funniest moment in the movie.........


It's when Steve is trying to hit on Ben Affleck's fiancee by singing an old song of their's, Against All Odds. He was giving it everything he got, trying to have a sweet moment and she was having none of it. When he finishes he's like:

"You remember that song?"

"Yeah!!!"

(Pause)......."I thought so".

I thought it was hilarious. David Strickland was a funny guy....

Yeah - the look on her face was priceless, and his being off key just make it all the stranger. Easily the funniest moment in the movie.

Haha, it was really funny huh!

It's times like this I'm glad I'm on a message board & not about to say this in person. That was my favorite scene of the entire film on Friday March 19. 1999 when I went to the theater to see it for the 1st time, it still is over 6 years later. I can still remember how I laughed. I can also remember how I almost cried when I went back to it on Wednesday March 24, 1999.

There's only 1 thing about that scene that irritates me, aside from the obvious & it's not even really about the movie, but about how TNT & TBS & any other tv station that shows the edited version cuts most of that scene out.

And am I the only one who wanted the fiancee to end up with him instead of Ben? Just thought I'd ask, if for no other reason than to lighten the mood a bit.

Yeah, i guess it could of been better if the fiancee ended up with David Strickland. He was alot more likeable than Ben Affleck's character. Anyway, i thought the scene was brilliant.
