Movies That Didn’t Actually Happen • Page 159

Lol didn’t even notice that. The hell does that mean?

 

Jon Heder may be one of the biggest flops of an actor I've ever seen. Riding on the waves of Napoleon Dynamite even now just doing convention after convention, but all his work afterwards kept getting worse and worse

 

I owned Mr. Woodcock and School for Scoundrels on DVD when I was in middle school lol

Very Saving Silverman-adjacent films

 

I don’t know if I’d call him a flop. Napoleon Dynamite exploded out of no where but it’s not like he was some great actor.

 

He definitely knew his fame was limited, so he took everything that was thrown at him. He got the bag and made the most of it by starring in some of the worst stuff in the 2000s.

 

Apparently he did an interview where he talks about how he doesn't want to do raunchy comedies and he just likes doing fun little PG films and such.

I guess he just doesn't actually want to be a star, which is kind of nice to see.

Edit:

This is based off of brief research I just did as I was googling his IMDB to list off the dozen terrible movies he did riggt after Napoleon Dynamite.

 

He's also a Mormon so I figured PG-level comedy is what he's more comfortable with.

 

Oh shit

Explains a lot, thanks!

 

I thought Benchwarmers was funny when I first saw it lol

 

He has a twin brother who does visual effects work on a ton of big marvel films

 

Blades of Glory is solid and Benchwarmers is actually not too bad. I hate saying this but it is pretty easily Rob Schneider’s best performance.

 

The one time I went to a Drive In double feature was in the spring of 2006, friends and I saw RV (the forgettable Robin Williams movie) and Benchwarmers and I definitely got more laughs out of the latter.

 

Forgot about Blades of Glory, I like that movie

 

Rob Riggle is the dad in this

 

It's on HBO right now, the line "it's cool that you still handwrite things, it's old school" was just uttered by young Schwarzenegger

 

Patty Schwarz

 

I only buy my demons through mailorder

 

Nah, you gotta meet your demons in person, or you might get swindled and end up with a goat with wings glued on.

 

I watched that a lot as a kid haha

 

Same. VHS classic.

 

Definitely watched Big Bully numerous times as a kid lol
