James Marsden is boring and uninteresting

This movie could've been very enjoyable in a Paul(2011) sort of way. But Marsden is unfunny, he has an unlikable douchebag-face and there is nothing interesting about him.
His character was also too vanilla.

Don't be mean to the disabled.

[–] Kowalski (75523) 4 years ago

NO WORRIES...NOBODY EVEN KNEW YOU WERE HERE.

[–] zeesha (1826) 4 years ago

LOL. Why took that as an insult? You can still win the Paralympic Games if shouting is an official event.

I'm not very active here, but my oldest post is actually older than his oldest.
I've been here for about a year and a half. Before that I was on the IMDB boards since around 2004.

However this is the first time I noticed this Kowalski fellow, but sadly enough he's far from the only CAPS LOCK abuser I've come across on the interwebs.

What do you mean by "too vanilla"?

[–] WrepDrep (379) 5 years ago

Lame. Too clean and friendly. If you're going to include a sister-in-law from hell character, then the main character better be tougher and less of a saint. The combination didn't work, and the "funny scenes" with the sister-in-law ended up not being funny at all.

[–] samoanjoes (56646) 5 years ago

Oh, I thought you meant there were too many white people.

[–] WrepDrep (379) 5 years ago

I know that's what you were hoping it to be.
I was initially going to post that by vanilla I mean he was "too white".
But to be honest I thought there were too many black people..........

In this case, I'm gonna blame the movie, not the actor.

Marsden can be vanilla (X-Men, Hop, 27 Dresses), but he can also be pretty great (Anchorman 2, Bella Mafia, Dead To Me) - I agree that he is often miscast. But this whole movie is too vanilla and kid-washed. The relationship between Marsden's character and his wife is the most platonic thing I've seen onscreen in a while. The I-just-want-friends schtick is a bit blah. But it is a kids movie, so I give it a pass for that.

He was pretty good in Enchanted.

[–] Wint3rFir3 (7146) 4 years ago

I've only seen Enchanted once - it was not for me. But Marsden was the best thing about it, if I recall correctly.

THAT IS NOT HOW HIS MOM FEELS.

[–] Johanesse (477) 3 years ago

I highly disagree. He has the opposite of a douche-bag face and a very kind and likable face. He`s extremely likable.

The dude is a tv actor. I don't know why they keep trying to make movies with him. Stick him in one of those stupid police shows so he can be the handsome guy while they all stand around staring at a computer monitor taking turns saying their lines.
