- Jack & Jill -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 11:34
- Hannah, a second time?? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 2, 11:32 5
  - No, but Hannah was the first and I'm sure it's great on DVD. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 11:33 4
    - Nah, it isn't. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:35 3
      - It's a foreign language coming of age chase film. Heh. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 11:38 2
        
        That it never actually commits to. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:39 1

      - Clip the creepy son/babysitter thing....it's a A movie. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:40 10
        
        If it was just Gosling and Stone, yeah, but you gotta cut the Steve Carrell too. - Qale Nov 2, 11:43 2
        
        Why cut Carell? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:45 1
        
        A majority of his role is a repeat from 40 Year Old Virgin. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 11:49
        
        I wish Gosling worked more. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:42 6

        His agent must despise him. Few actors are this selective. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:45 1
        
        I'm just glad he seems to be finding success...so he'll at least have chances in the future. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:48
