Jon Lovitz,Jesus!!!!!


I thought Jon Lovitz was funny a couple of decades ago when he use to do the skit about the liar who repeated the phrase "That's the ticket!" I thought he was funny on Seinfeld as Gary wearing the hair piece and saying "she's singing a blue streak now, Jack!"

But, today, I saw him in the Kevin Spacey movie about Jack Abramoff and Jon Lovitz is so amazingly good that I burst out laughing with his every word!

The man doesn't have good sense!

And as a side note, this movie is truly Kevin Spacey's best role to date. Spacey was dramatic and funnier than I've ever seen him. And considering all of this, Lovitz still reigned supreme!

Spacey, haven portrayed unlikeable mean spirited characters the past 5-10 years, finds his niche here as a lovable and comically corrupt character. He is pitch perfect!

When Spacey portrayed Lex Luthor in Superman Returns, he was wasn't a likable villain, and a villain needs to be someone that we love to hate. Case in point, when Gene Hackman portrayed Lex Luthor.Hackman was criminally insane, yet his psychosis paralyzed us with laughter.

I will not give the reader any of the details of Casino Jack. I want you to be surprised. But I will say that Lovitz does something so funny in a scene in this movie, I laughed hard and loud for ten minutes!

I could not believe that he did it!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was so unique and never done in any movie or tv show that I have seen.

And I have no doubt that Jon Lovitz thought this part of the scene up in one of the most hilarious ad-libs ever.

When you see it, you will know that is the scene I am speaking of here. So, come back and tell me you saw it, but please, please, please do not mention it in detail here! Not even in a Spoiler Alert. Let's allow it to be a treat for everyone!
