Sweet Damn!, how good is Tim Blake Nelson? Jesus he does <i>"O Brother"</i> and this? In 'Cherish' he manages to be the most lonely little man in the world. In the scene where Zoe is rollerblading around and won't let him sit down he is like the spinless subsitute teacher of our fourth grade dreams.
sharei couldnt agree more. he managed to go from this 'anal retentive' dorky man at the beginning and turned into something quite charming by the end through his experiences with zoe
shareThat's what I thought, too, on first viewing. But in the last scene, as he is sitting at his desk, and gets a message from her, and his eyes wander over to her pic, and he starts fantasizing about her in a bikini on a boat...?? hmmm....a little stalkeresque, isn't it? oh, sure he is harmless, but it just shows there is a fine line. affection to obsession.
shareI just watched this movie and it was wonderful. My take on the last scene was that it had to do with the music that was playing at the same time. If you listen to the lyrics you get the impression that he may just let her be a passing dream. And while they showed him starting to type a response you do not see if he actually hits the "Enter" key.
I liked that alternate ending also. The pitiful plant that she started has grown and grown and grown.
Tim Blake Nelson does a very good "lonely little man" in "The Good Girl" too. Well not so much actually lonely, but pretty spineless I would say as the blackmailing "Bubba" :)

you missed one .tim also directed the grey zone.a powerful drama based on the true story of the only staged uprising by the jewish prisoners during the holocaust.tim blake nelson needs to be recognized to a much greater extent than what hes getting now.on the upside though i just read my thousanth interview with ashton"im not retarded"kutcher because he played a sad lil joke on some other marginally talented freak.
I saw that movie last month on cable, and i thought the same thing, how talented is he? That movie gave me goosebumps, thinking how horrible those experiences must have been for those people and the survivors still around today, chilling and just unbelivable, but knowing it really happened, i honestly don't think he got enough credit, for that movie, and what a great cast, Arquette, buscemi, Sorvino, Keitel, Lyonne, the little girl, just wonderful.
I love this guy!!! he's funny as sh$t, adorable, goofball and at the same time is intelligent, witty, charming, just loved him in all his movies!!
BUBBA RULES!
He was awesome in this movie! Loved him! I actually thought he was pretty cute by the end.... lol weird, I know.. but it's just the character he played.. it was cute.
Yeah like you guys said, he plays the best "lonely guy" characters..lol I loved him in O Brother Where Art Thou and Holes.. He doesn't awesome dramas and ever better comedies! hehe

Not weird at all. I haven't seen him in anything else but "O Brother," so when I saw him for the first time in this movie, I couldn't believe it was the same man. What a great actor! And he WAS pretty cute by the end...and I thought he and Robin Tunney had great chemistry.
shareWas it just me or did he look like a bad kisser?
shareI think his best movie is "O' Brother Where Art Thou," but his best part is in "Cherish."
The last scene is his best. You can see the sense of loss on his face when he reads the e-mail message from Zoe.
Sometimes I give movies the ending I want them to have. For "Cherish" I like to think Zoe and Daly somehow end up together. There was definately chemistry there.
shareHA! Yes, exactly. I called him "the world's most unlikely romantic male lead" to a friend and I honestly can't think of anything more fitting. But he pulled it off! I was totally crushing on Daly by the end of this film, and dreaming up the coda to the happy ending in my head.
Overall, I was really caught off guard in the most fun way possible by this little flick. Far from perfect - lots of unevenness, and sometimes the genre mash-up was just confusing as all get-out - but overall, it was just a rollicking good time.
