Pointing out that he loved hearing all the dirty details.<br /><br />Like your husband, I probably would've called it too, but if I whispered it to the random guy next to me, he probably would've slugged me. <br /><br />Thanks!

He totally predicted that line, and he seemed to think he deserved kudos for <b><i>knowing how dudes think</i></b>. I found that totally awesome ... or disturbing. I haven't decided which. ;-) Like you, he Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-54036477667305338822013-01-27T16:30:53.658-05:002013-01-27T16:30:53.658-05:00The fact that the characters needed a little slapp...The fact that the characters needed a little slapping doesn't make the movie any less perfect for me.

That whole scene with De Niro chasing the kid and then yelling at him was so hilarious! I agree about Cooper's eyes - he was so convincing in this performance and it's really his acting that sold the romance story arc for me.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-87631325301254916842013-01-24T22:55:14.916-05:002013-01-24T22:55:14.916-05:00Yeah Dan, I live in PA too, and I used to live in ...Yeah Dan, I live in PA too, and I used to live in King of Prussia. So, while it's not quite in my backyard, there was definitely that same thing going on here.<br /><br />But, no offense, but Philly sports fans are generally the most bitter a-holes I've ever been around.

It makes everything more casual and inviting, even when the shit is hitting the fan.<br /><br />That idea of 'someone for everyone' is incredibly cliche, but I think here it was handled honestly and realistically. m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-27229039304525572562013-01-24T22:43:38.991-05:002013-01-24T22:43:38.991-05:00I was rooting for Pat.

And yeah, the notion that there's someone for everyone is a pleasant one indeed.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-45411067282743041802013-01-24T12:51:39.711-05:002013-01-24T12:51:39.711-05:00I am surprised that you loved the last ten minutes...I am surprised that you loved the last ten minutes of the movie. I didn't like the last ten minutes of it. The rest of the movie, I identified with, because I'm looney tunes. Meeting a person that is as damaged as yourself is not the best thing. It could have been worse for Pat and Tiffany.Wyatt Renfrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11925803268207869542noreply@blogger.com
