People probably didn't see this because the trailer is full of shots of a fat obnoxious dude getting hit in the nuts, but the fat obnoxious dude has a Tony award! Chris Farley can't say that. And the "ouch, my balls" scenes are very, very, very well paced. Watched the DVD (comes out Tuesday), and I liked it even more than I did in the theatre (first thought Walken was kinda regurgitating his shtick but I don't think he's ever been given stuff this successfully silly before).

I didn't even realize Jason Scott Lee was the really angry dude in the underground ping-pong circuit until I saw the making-of extra.

This DVD is now being sold at the checkout of my local grocery store, on a rack above the copies of Oprah's magazine.
