Just saw it for the first time. Could be the oddest appearance of a Pearl Jam band member in any medium ever.

Did Ed contact the director or did they call him up?

    How would that be the oddest? It's Shakespeare compared to SINGLES.

    The band in SINGLES watching the bees is the oddest.
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    I had low expectations going into it, but actually got quite a few chuckles out of it. And Pam from The Office is smokin' as his wife!!!

    least he was just himself.. i would die if i saw ed acting as like, another person.. god damn that'd be weird.. which is what i originally thought when i heard he appeared in the movie.. but over all..it was a really funny movie. Wonder how much you pay someone who is on screen for like one 1/2 min.

    Because he was trying very hard not to laugh? That made me giggle when I saw it in theatres a hundred years ago...

    I can say, without hyperbole, that it is the best movie of all-time. It makes The Godfather look like utter crap.

    Seriously, I love this movie.

    I don't think C. Rielly(sp?) works in comedies. I think the movie was lacking, some funny bits but boring stuff too.

    The version I saw didn't even have that line in it?

    Thought that was odd. :confused:

    Wrong. John C. Reilly might be the greatest comedic actor of our generation. Maybe of every generation. If the Earth were going to be hit by a giant meteor, and I had a seat on the only rocket ship out, I would give it up to John C. Reilly, so that future generations could enjoy his work.

    I saw this movie in the theaters and Ed's cameo was much shorter than the 4:20 clip posted in the previous link. After seeing this, I feel like I got ripped off. Fuckers.

    according to the directors commentary in the movie Ed nailed this on his first take.

    I thought the movie was funny. Ed's brief appearance was just icing on the cake.

    You know, regardless of Ed, I was really stoked to see it 'cause it is from the same makers of Taledaga Nights and Super Bad - both of which are fucking hysterical!! And, the origianl trailer was really fucking funny.

    By the time the movie came out, it was as though they took all the funny out of it. And I was let down. I clearly had way too high of expectations.
