A 26 year old 14 year old?


Denny is like 12-16 or something being played by a 26 year old actor? He's like the third oldest person on screen! That's about as wild as the 4 sex scenes in the first 30 minutes.

Anyway, Jaboody Dubs did commentary to the movie, hilarious stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4ACc8rxGn8

Well he's in college.

haha I couldn't figure it out, I was sure I heard him mention tuition but then I see him jumping in bed playing with pillows while completely misunderstanding an adult situation, his endless need to toss the pigskin, his asking Lisa for a kiss....yeah I'm very confused about his age

Lisa says "When Denny turned 18, Johnny bought him an apartment in this building", so he's an adult, just probably a weird one.

reply

Well Tommy later said and I quote, Denny is "really retarded a little bit." I don't know how you can be really and a little bit, but yes he's written so he sounds like a child but then they say he's an adult and he adds nothing to the story...I feel like I can safely say Tommy didn't write Denny as a mentally impaired adult, but I honestly don't know what exactly he was going for.

didn't Lisa at one point say Tommy would be his dad when they got married?

Some adults do have fathers, y'know ;) Though I don't think Lisa would have said that exactly, as the marriage between Lisa and Tommy didn't affect the father-son dynamic between Tommy and Denny.

reply

yeah I misheard that line, the correct line lisa told him is "tommy is like your father"

anyway he's just an 18-20 year old living in an apartment in tommy's building paid for by tommy until he graduates, he jumps into beds that adults are about to bang in and when he asks lisa for a kiss she calls him a brat, it's just too ridiculous
