Wahlberg overacts a lot of it

Thats almost every film hes in.

Yeah, Esp. bad in Boogie Nights, he played himself, which he was a massive D-Bag and it worked out great.

There's actually an extended cut called "untitled" that makes the movie that much better


The expanded bootleg edit is on Paramount+. It's about 40 mins longer than the theatrical release.

Highly recommend trying to find a copy if you're a big fan of the movie

I highly agree. Only way to watch it.

How can the same man that directed Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire direct Aloha, We Bought a Zoo, and Elizabethtown


In all fairness, We Bought a Zoo, while not in the same tier as the Almost Famous/Mcguire, is a decent movie.

The look of Russell was based on Dickey Betts. The album cover for Stillwater was “at filmore east” by the allman brothers.

One of the best movies of the early 2000s.
