Picking Nits
Bill SimmonsWhy would Ellen Pompeo's character ever touch Luke Wilson? She should have been running after multiple red flags - he spills a drink on her dress, has involvement with a high school girl, and she has a kid but considers him as stepfather material▶ 55:56
Bill SimmonsWhy wouldn't Vince Vaughn's character be a cheater? Questions the character choice to make him faithful▶ 57:10
Chris RyanAgrees they had to make Vince Vaughn not cheat to keep him within bounds of normal behavior, otherwise he'd just be Satan. The non-cheating scene is well-acted despite the movie being ridiculous▶ 57:13

Chris RyanVince Vaughn — Vince Vaughn - because he's incredible and every single line he has is quotable▶ 1:07:34
