Sudekis' "It's just noise" speech quite powerful


That scene where he's telling Jesse and the other track team guys to ignore the racist yelling of the OSU football team was great - the way Sudekis delivered it, the editing to show how volume can be blocked out. The movie itself was lumpy but that was a truly inspiring scene (and Sudekis really graduated from comedy to being a strong dramatic actor with this film; he should be proud).

I thought the film's overall editing was awkward and more functional than artistic, but yes, that scene was great.

I started paying more attention to Jason Sudeikis in "Sleeping with Other People" and am glad to see that he's got drama chops. I wonder if he'd be convincing as a scientist or public defender.
