At first I thought this was all sarcasm, but then realized it is really in true humble admiration. I rewatched this film just recently and it is an outrageous gem. Probably Rob Schnider's best acting role. It's also extremely relatable, as my adopted niece just found out that she is really a princess from a far away island and has amazing fighting prowess that had been laying dormant deep inside her until her most previous birthday.

@geoffreyrichards6079 4 ай бұрын

His serious acting is actually what got him into starring in comedies, because of his ability to play the roles completely straight despite how ridiculous they got. Unfortunately, that aspect was dropped in his later comedy films, which resulted in a lot of them not being that funny.

4:48 to be fair, the low angle shot is just cinema 101, Citizen Kane doesn't own it. It's used in most movies to show the power of a character. There's actually quite an interesting low angle shot in Heathers, when Heather Chandler dies the camera is a little behind her head on the floor. Heather's corpse is much larger than Veronica and JD, although at this point she is definitely not more powerful then the two characters. Her death however, does hold power over these characters, which is what the shot represents. Critic should totally do a Heathers review.

lol, Fun fact, I’m from Hawaii. Born and raised and lived in the Islands for 28 of my 38 years. To this very day in 2023, in the Hawaiian Islands phrases like “stylin”, “psych”, “fully”, “those waves are pumping”, “let’s shred” “bitchin”, “gnarly” and “no worries, brah” are still common and widespread and have been so for decades. As a matter of fact, most of those phrases were borne from Hawaii, and California surfing slang lexicon. That said, in places like all of Hawaii and to a lesser extent many parts of SoCal those words are in widespread use.

MrsColedo For one thing, almost everyone who has left CA (except Spoony and Bhargav) were fired by him for really stupid reasons. Including their PR manager Holly the day after she got out of surgery. They didn't hire a replacement. He also wouldn't allow Patreon ads in the videos until it got out why he wouldn't and the huge stink it caused forced him to relent. He also told the producers that they should be grateful for the anniversary movies because CA covered the plane tickets, despite only Doug, Mike, and Rob receiving any profits from the specials. He (and Rob) is incredibly difficult to communicate with when he needs to be contacted, then complains when the producers don't respond to him immediately. There are probably a few dozen other horror stories. I actually don't think I've seen a single positive story involving Mike.
