i think the end is the funniest part. when hartnett is on stage playing stanley from streetcar and doing it exactly like brando, i couldnt stop laughing.
which, while i will credit hartnett on a pretty good brando impersonation, i like that he is really a cop and not an actor. i think having him do it straight and being good would have made the movie worse.

and ford stealing the kids bike was pretty good.

i aint hatin this movie.

I hated that part of the film.
It was just awful, and corny, that I could hardly watch him.
Loved Hartnett in "Black Hawk Down" though.

but I thought the movie was fun. I liked all the cameo appearances.

I agree that Hartnett doing Brando doing Stanley was definitely the funniest scene in the movie...laughably bad but I think that's what was intended.

I laughed too, everytime Josh shouted "Stella" out from nowhere.
And when Ford answered real estate phone calls.

You're right, it was bad and intended that way. It actually wouldn't have been funny if he was good. It wasn't corny. And then Joe defending him at the end with sit down or Ill kick your ass was funny. He knew it was bad but he was there for his partner.
