Regarding BrianSez’s Review
Yes, came away with three things from this movie. Seeing Wahlberg in his prime is certainly key and I hope he has at least a dozen more of these types of roles in him before he turns to a life of weirdness. Second, the scene with him sitting in the lifeguard chair with the orange umbrella is iconic. And third, the F-you scene with Goodman made my top 10 lifetime scenes. Good does turn out to be great every now and again.
