Why does Matt Dillon's name appear before Ben Stiller's name in the credits? Patrick Healy is only in some of the movie, whereas Ted is in the entire movie. It should have gone Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, then Matt Dillon.

    Maybe because Ben Stiller sucks at everything he's in. ;)

    Here's my guess...

    While Ben Stiller was obviously the star of the movie, I think Dillon's name was bigger at the time. Stiller hadn't done all of his popular movies yet (I don't think), so Dillon was the bigger draw. I've seen other movies where a bit player (but more popular name) was listed ahead of someone with more screen time. Just my opinion.

    Just looked it up on imdb. And yes it looks like this was Ben's first big movie, or at least his first big role. I can't believe this movie is already 11 years old! :o

    Yeah...I think Brett Favre was bigger at the time. :D

    I can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out he retired...it was like the world stopped.
    And I cal tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing when he...unretired. :( It was like we lost our state hero.
    Football is religion, and Favre was like the pope.
    This is hard to talk about. :cry::cry:

    I live in NY and I can say the same things....been a big fan since the beginning. What an awesome time to be a fan. I've been out to Lambeau 3 times too. Amazing town to visit and see a game.

    As another fellow Wisconsin/Packer fan let me say this. Enough Brett talk, he is retired and for good this time. His should I or should I not play crap I was so sick of towards the end in GB. Brett is was great and you are a true player of the game. Now go enjoy the rest of your life. :)

    I'm Wisconsin born and raised, I'm also 21 years old. I was 5 years old when Favre played his first game for the Pack.
    Until this season...I do not remember ever having seen another quarterback play for our team.
    Amazing time to be a fan indeed. I'm very proud of my...heritage. :)

    And yes Patrick, I hope he does enjoy the rest of his life. :) He's earned it.

    I'll try to stop extolling the virtues of #4 now...but it's hard! I can't help myself!

    I remember seeing that in the theater, and everyone there was howling - some of the most amazing collective laughter I've experienced. We had never seen anything like that before. It's still a very funny movie, but if you showed it to an audience today, it wouldn't get the same reaction.

    I had a major crush on Cameron Diaz back then too.

    It still blows my mind that the Franks and beans guy was the same guy who played Dan Dority on Deadwood.

    "it needs to be at least...3 times bigger!!"
