Aaron T. Rex’s review:
Seann William Scott is great. He brings a lot to his character. I liked the guy who played La Flamme as well and Liev Schreiber was good. Not just the typical bad guy, at least in one scene he shows a little more depth, having a moment with Scott.
Baruchel didn't annoy me as much as I had expected but that's only because I thought he would be in the film a whole lot more. He was good in the scene after the family dinner though. Nice scene.
The further away I get from this film, the more I like it. I need a rewatch very soon. You are being to kind to Baruchel though. He is much too over the top in comparison to the rest of the performances.
True, he definitely is. It was just a matter of expectations I think. I thought there would be a whole lot more of him. If he had kept going like he did in the beginning I would have hated him.
That's a good point, I was glad he isn't in the film that much.
