Dane Cook absolutely ruined this movie

Dane Cook initially turned me off from this film. But I later gave in, when I heard what was going to happen to his character towards the end ... That scene made it worth while for me, haha.

"I must admit, It makes me Chuckle Every time"

I also first thought this guy was pretty much of a goofy miscast. I remember that scene in which he's asking Brooks' secretary for water and I instantly thought to myself I'd like to beat the living daylights out of that guy right now. It was the way he asked for it - knowing he had taken those incriminatory pictures of Brooks committing a murder and, because of it, acting like the King of England or something. Such a dork.

But I really liked his exit. It suited him just perfectly.

On the other hand I don't think his character was designed to be likable or overly intellectual. He's kind of a lucky simpleton who hit the 'jackpot' of his life. In the end his naivity shoots back at him fatally.

I have to disagree with the OP.
I personally don't like his as a comedian, but he was great in here.

Watching him getting his neck sliced open was pretty fun

i absolutely cant stand cook either, but i think he fit the part well here. he was somebody we werent supposed to like. and wanted brooks to murder.

but how cook kept getting work and making money is beyond me. the guy is just awful.

The fact that you feel so strongly about his character to post about it here means that he played that role to perfection. The casting in this movie is really great.
