Why Aren't People Talking About This?
It was great. Entertaining, funny, poignant.
Great performances from Rudd and Coogan.
But it seems to have come and gone with very little attention from anyone.
Watched this a couple nights ago, wondered the same thing. After watching it, I couldn't believe that I had never heard of it and had to stumble across it to even know it existed. Rudd did fine, and Coogan was top notch, as usual, bringing most of the heavier laughs and a couple very well done dramatic, emotional scenes. I wonder if the semi-graphic homosexuality was just too much for some. I, personally, didn't mind, but I could see more conservative/traditional types complaining about it.
shareCoogan is great. For some reason his career in America hasn't really taken off though.
shareYou can count my gf and I as two American fans. We've loved him ever since Hamlet 2. I think we are going to try and find some of his Alan Partridge character next.
shareCoogan was great in the film, but he hasn't had the kind of big hit that would make him a hot property in Hollywood, they treat him like a character actor rather than a star. And not their first choice of character actor either, I've heard he can be very difficult to work with.
That said, he was the best thing about this mildly amusing movie, he provided such laughs as there were.
