Casting disappoints

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2005)

Not too many authentically 'challenged' actors here with lines. Like watching an ape movie with actors in gorilla suits. What's to watch? Then there was the Ringer's greasy, gambling addicted uncle trying to hide his UK accent biting on a 1 inch stogy. Again with the outsourcing of supporting roles to Britain? One good actor with one good line turns up by the end of the first 20 pages. Knoxville's Special Olympics roommate (Billy) blasts him for scratching his CD "in clear daylight". Even Anchorman got off the ground sooner than that. There was a good deal more commitment from the actors in Stuck On You. Was it really necessary to go with so many 'union' comedic actors? It would have been much more enjoyable if a few more Edward Barbanelli's had been cast.
