This is one of the greatest films ever made. The Writing, Acting, and Directing are just dead on. RIP Robin Williams steals the show. Underrated and hilarious gem.
I love this! Never in a million years would I thought my kids would have a stepdad named Stan! BahHaaaaaa! One of my favorite movies! The look on his face priceless when this part came on! It was so funny!!
Edward Norton does not do enough comedy. I mean, the man is a great actor, no matter what he does (even the Hulk) - but he is so genuinely FUNNY in Smoochy.
Honestly, a big mistake in my life is watching this and American History X in fairly close proximity to each other around age 14. Watching Ed Norton go from sweet to sinister is a jarring experience.
"so three cheers to the man that I proudly call Stan! He's not quite a dad or a brother!" thanks for the post, I was going to do it myself, but was too lazy ;)
It's funny because he describes a verbally abusive man who also deprives the kid of food, and says "that's ok you should make excuses for it," but then adds "if he's abusive call 911." Like, the guy you described *is* abusive, bro.
if your football daddy ever beats and kills mommy then kills you and drives away in a white bronco, whats the magic numbers??? 911!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!
