Another movie with a ton of good lines.  Is this where all the memorable dialogue has gone?  Screwball comedies instead of noir?  Perhaps this is an outgrowth of people quoting big lines in drama to comedic effects.  Now they just make up absurdly big lines for comedies.  Anyway, when it comes to those lines, Will Ferrell is one of the best and this film has some doozies.  This is one of those films that benefits from second viewings and viewings with someone who really enjoys it.  I saw it in the theater and while I enjoyed it, did not imagine the day when I would add it to my list of favorite movies.  Yet there it resides, in all its glory.

    You had me with the freestyle jazz flute. Now, it’s up there with the favorites. I can’t see this movie fast enough.
