I can't believe that I haven't watched this movie in years.  OMG!  I just love Paul Rudd.  I will watch him in anything.  And I do mean anything.  Every line he speaks is sarcastic, whether or not he means it.  It's just a beautiful thing!  And all the minor side characters are just a treat.  It makes for a great awkward moment.

PS. The creepiest scene in any movie = dinner at Chipmunk Charlie's

Best Bits: 

[ from trailer] Ronnie Shields: Suck it, "Reindeer Games"! Danny: I'm not Ben Affleck. Ronnie Shields: You white, then you Ben Affleck. Wheeler: You *are* white. Danny: That's true, I am white.
Gayle Sweeny: Watch your language, Ronnie. Ronnie Shields: My language is English and this mother fucker tried to grab my junk.
Gayle Sweeny: You know what I used to have for breakfast? Cocaine. Know what I had for lunch? Cocaine. Wheeler: What did you have for dinner? Danny: Was it cocaine?
Gayle Sweeny: [ Appropriately hugging Martin] *This* is a perfectly acceptable hug between a little and a big. [ Hugging him from behind] Gayle Sweeny: *This* is not. Wheeler: Well, obviously we're not supposed to buttfuck these kids.
Gayle Sweeny: Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr. Bullshit and Dr. I'm-full-of-shit? Wheeler: In what way are we full of shit? Danny: Which one of us has the Ph.D?
Danny: No, I like to rock n' roll all night and *part* of every day. I usually have errands... I can only rock from like 1-3.
Gayle Sweeny: I know why you are here, so don't BS a BSer, Ok? Your "Presence" here, court ordered. Danny: Why did you put presence in quotes? Are you implying that we aren't here?
