Why was Jamie Kennedy acting so messed up?


Pre-coma, he seemed like a normal, kind-of-cool kid. But post-coma, he was mentally handicapped... and not just at first, he acted that way for the entire movie. I thought the premise was that he was still going to be acting his age when he got out of the coma, but he doesn't act at all like the kid we saw in the opening flashback. He acts (and sorry for using this term) retarded.

I totally agree with you raging-hobo. This cements my earlier point elsewhere. Very silly movie!

Yes, it would be one thing to have a 6th grade education, but he apparently
still had a concussion, because he was retarded.
You don't have to tell a 6th grader boy what to do with a boob.

You may not have to teach a 12 year old what to do with a boob but it made for one hilarious scene!

hes still a kid in the head, he never grew up properly, he was in a coma for 20 years FFS so obv he wouldnt not what to do with a boob, he never did anything like that before.

Shoot, if some girl had shown me some boobage at 12, I would have figured it out REAL quick! lol.

nobody should defend why he acts retarded because there is no excuse for it. They *beep* that part of the movie up.

I disagree. When I was 12 (and older), I still went to Chuck E Cheese. All the way up until the "grown-up" arcades like Dave and Busters and GameWorks were invented. Also, I never even kissed a girl (much less touched a boob) until I was 25. I wasn't even interested in girls at 12. I was super shy and never even talked to girls at all in school when I was interested. So yeah, I acted just like him. I still kinda act like that and I'm 32.
