Great to see IT Crowd guy in Hollywood!


Great to see Chris O'Dowd have such a good role in this movie. Although it's not his first Hollywood film, i think it was the first where he is doing a US accent. Probably not an easy task for someone with such a thick Irish accent, but he pulled it off IMHO!

Agreed. HUGE fan of the IT Crowd. however, he's supposed to be only 22 in this?

reply

I think he's meant to be early 30's in the film but he met his wife aged 22 - she was 28?

I had NO IDEA he was Irish! You couldn't tell at all!

Neither did I!

He cracks me up!

I thought that was him! Just started watching him in Family Tree series and I remember him on Girls.

Omg, his Irish accent IS super thick! He did great in this! I like that he was paired with Maya Rudolph. They made a hilarious couple.

reply

He and Maya Rudolph were so likeable! I thought they were hilarious and truly depict a couple that's been together for a long time. They fight, embarrass each other, but genuinely love each other and work on their relationship. It was a great contrast to the other couples too. It was really nice to see Chris O'Dowd and Maya Rudolph in realistic roles in such a charming flick. I hope to see them work together again. They're perfect for each other!
