But yeah, it was so similar to the book that maybe I just didn't care too much what was going on, since I already knew!Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085126999426248292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676426519136138177.post-63648524997606086052009-10-26T19:07:24.821-07:002009-10-26T19:07:24.821-07:00Okay, Richie. This is one of my favorite films, b...Okay, Richie. This is one of my favorite films, but I think you're right that most of the charm is in the plot and the characters. I think this was one of the movies to jumpstart Jack Black's acting career?<br /><br />However, I think it resonates with a lot of people because they've felt a lot like Rob Gordon before in some instance or another. He kind of takes everything to a level of absurdity that a normal person would take something to in their head, but he lets it out without becoming too much of a caricature of a real person.<br /><br />That's my theory, anyway. If you read the book, I think he seems like a lot less of an asshole, or at least a more justified asshole. I really enjoyed the book, and I treat this movie like chicken soup for if I'm having a bad time.KMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456337869748506088noreply@blogger.com
