      We are all black children

      At the 81st Oscars ceremony, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin co-hosted. When introducing the guests, Steve told Gabourey Sidibe (the leading actress who cherishes life) that you and I have something in common. We nominated for the first Oscar Black children are played in the movies.

      This film is Steve's famous work. Throughout Steve’s young comedy movies, they were mostly shoddy, gimmicky, and less humorous. Something required some bloody plots and tear-making practices (such as "A...

      Some points are quite funny, but some points are a bit too exaggerated! From the beginning, I thought this person's acting skills were too exaggerated! It's not natural at all, it's stupid, it's hard to come out~ After looking at it for a long time, I got used to it a little bit, but still feels so noisy, so the sound must be at such a high decibel! So why did my wife leave in the first place? I really don't understand! Wasn't it innocent at first? I really didn't explain it at...

No matter how big it is, don't forget to send money home every week. After becoming rich overnight and falling down overnight, the people around him only hope that he can change back to the simple one he used to be. Small plot points may be the reason why he loves the...

      It's a nonsensical comedy, so don't talk about logic and funny After reading this, I can still think of a lot of interesting characters, so the character building is really in place. The only dissatisfaction is that the transition of the protagonist is a bit far-fetched. Or get carried away by...

      Watching a version that is almost 94 minutes long. As FREAKS AND GEEKS, look for it. There are a lot of laughs, a big silly movie, and I feel that some places are too...

    • [Marie, back at Navin's trailer...]

      Navin R. Johnson: Can I ask you a personal question?

      Marie: What is it?

      Navin R. Johnson: Now be totally honest: you do have a boyfriend, don't you?

      Marie: Kind of...

      Navin R. Johnson: I know this is our first date but... do you think, the next time you make love to your boyfriend, you could think of me?

      Marie: Well, I haven't made love to him yet.

      Navin R. Johnson: That's too bad... Do you think it's possible that someday, you could make love with me and think of him?

      Marie: Who knows, maybe you and he could make love and you could think of me.

      Navin R. Johnson: I'd just be happy to be in there somewhere.

    • New Accounts Bank Manager: I will need two pieces of identification.

      Navin R. Johnson: Ah yes. I have my temporary driver's license - and - my astronaut application form... I didn't pass that though, I failed everything but the date of birth.

    • Marie: I don't care about losing all the money. It's losing all the stuff.
