"Aaaaaaagh! I can't believe I was in this movie!!!"
We were watching the 'tween masterpiece "Big Fat Liar" starring Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes and last but not least, Paul Giamatti...Yes, you heard that right. The same guy that who played Harvey Pekar in"American Splendor", the pinor noir loving Miles in "Sideways" and nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 2006's "Cinderella Man".
Actually the movie was pretty formulaic but funny in some parts. Especially for our 6 and 1/2 year old who enjoyed the pranks and pseudo-violence...There are a lot of cameos by many actors such as Donald Faison (Scrubs), Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy - a show I've never watched), Amy Hill (she played Margaret Cho's grandmother in her canceled TV series, "All American Girl"), plus Dustin Diamond (the annoying Screech from "Saved by the Bell" and ), John Cho (the "MILF" guy from "American Pie"), Lee Majors (WTF??? the "Six Million Dollar Man"!), Kenan Thompson (currently on SNL, played "Fat Albert" and was in "Good Burger") & Jaleel White (Urkel from "Family Matters" - another show I've never watched).
My favorite scene:
When Marty Wolf (Paul Giamatti's character) is undulating his pot belly and gyrating to Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf" in his tiny swim trunks before he takes a dip in his pool. Unbeknownst to Marty, his pool was infiltrated with blue dye by Frankie's character who is hell bent on revenge since Marty stole his English paper for his film "Big Fat Liar". Frankie and Amanda (his sidekick) also put orange dye in Marty's shampoo so his hair turns flaming orange.
Sigh, I know...so juvenile...
I'm still looking forward to watching "Grindhouse"!
