My only complaint


I've been waiting months to finally see this movie and I thought it was really funny. My only complaint is that Tom's name in the movie should have been TOM ARNOLD! I mean in the movie he's the actor that was in True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, the actor's name in real life wasn't Bill Williams, it was Tom Arnold! So that just doesn't make sense to me. Anyone agree?

Yeah, I don't understand why he changed his name , when Arnold and Jaimie played themseves. I also wonder, in real life, was Tom considering suicide at one point?

i believe at one point he was very depressed, and the movie is based loosely on a real relationship between him and eric gores, eric helped inspire him and get him out of his funk. eric's dad lives next door to tom, and also shaq, which is why he's in the movie as well, and as for arnold and jamie and the other big names, they all did it for eric, i'm assuming that they're family friends as well.

I thought he was playing the character from "True Lies" as if he was an actor.
-And in response to the other post, I'd think so. I mean, seriously, he was married to Roseanne, had several flop shows, a few movies that sukked big time, and also some the were pretty decent. He's been Steven Seagal's "go to" guy in 2(3?) movies.

Sorry about that. Tom and Steven apparently only did "Exit Wounds" together.
I thought they did 2 others, but that was Anthony Anderson.
