07-03 19:36
Matt:
07-03 19:36
Rich Maine:
cue the can !
07-03 19:38
hounder:
so is charlie’s stiff collar more or less formal than jimmy’s folded collar?
07-03 19:39
Rich Maine:
Huber is a lot smarter than other films in this one
07-03 19:40
Mike n Rachel in DC:
I think the stiff collar is more formal, hounder (Mike) and this is the best Huber character…not as cheezy
07-03 19:40
Matt:
No good Pop?
07-03 19:40
Rich Maine:
yes Mike, he isnt a fool here like in Paris
07-03 19:42
Mike n Rachel in DC:
He’s like a caricature in most of the other films…I think the roles would be really hokey except for the fact he’s such a convincing actor.
07-03 19:42
Rich Maine:
yes Harold is quite good…unlike BB who cant be serious
07-03 19:44
Rich Maine:
coroner worked very fast ! especially late at night
07-03 19:45
