A sheer joy to watch John Goodman nail it again..


I'm hoping he's nominated for an Oscar, I felt his performance was fantastic.

I also thought John Goodman was great.

and for me.... the only good thing in this movie.

Just watched this last night. And it's confirmed for me that I will never enjoy a movie with Wahlberg in it. However, the only redeeming quality to this movie was Goodman's character. Goodman is good in about anything he does. Loved him in O Brother Where Art Thou.

Goodman was wonderful in this movie but all these people ripping on Wahlberg and the movie really don't know what bad acting or a bad movie is. Like I said in another post go check out Freddy Got Fingered and then you will see bad.

He was awesome in the few scenes that he had.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

I loved his performance, I cracked up every time he was on screen because he would really let Wahlberg have it, tell him about himself. Like are you f*c!<ing stupid or just have a death wish or something?


Good girls go to heaven, all the bad bitches come with me

So true. That John Goodman scene was only part of this movie that was worth a damn.

I agree, just watched the movie, and the whole time he was on the screen I couldn't take my eyes off of him! He stole every scene he was in.
But for his sake he needs to lose some weight, he needs to lose a lot of weight, he seems to be getting bigger and bigger with every passing year.
