GET READY, PEOPLE.
>> WE’RE GOING TO BE HEARING
MINE, I THINK, COMING UP.
GRAB THE POPCORN AND THE SNOW
CAPS.
I LOVE THEM.
AND SWEET TARTS.
SNOW CAPS, SWEET TARTS AND
REALLY BUTTERY POPCORN.
I’M ALL IN.
IT’S TIME FOR REEL TALK, THANKS
TO OUR MOVIE REVIEWER, GREG
RUSSELL IS BACK WITH US THIS
WEEKEND.
ARE THEY DATE WORTHY?
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, BY THE
WAY.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY.
>> LET’S START WITH A MOVIE WE
HOPE DOESN’T GO DOWNHILL.
TAT’S THE TITLE BUT IT STARS
TWO OF MY FAVORITES, WILL
FERRELL AND JULIA
LOUIE-DREYFUSS.
GIVE US THE PREMISE OF THIS
MOVIE.
CAN’T MISS.
>> ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN MARRIED
OR DATED FOR A WHILE WILL REALLY
UNDERSTAND THIS MOVIE AND FEEL
IT BECAUSE WE’VE ALL KIND OF
LIKE BEEN IN THAT SITUATION ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FAMILY GOES
ON A SKIING VACATION TO AUSTRIA.
WILL FERRELL AND JULIA
LOUIE-DREYFUSS AND THEIR TWO
SONS AND AN AVALANCHE HITS.
HE GOT UP AND RA
>> THEY’RE SITTING IN AN OUTDOOR
VERANDA AND THE MOUNTAINS ARE IN
THE BACKGROUND AND THEY
PURPOSELY SET OFF A CONTROLLED
AVALANCHE.
BUT THEY DON’T KNOW THAT.
>> THEY SEE IT COMING AND WILL
FERRELL’S CHARACTER IS OUT.
>> BYE, WIFE AND KIDS.
AND THEY’RE LIKE, OH, MY GOD,
YOU DESERTED US.
>> AND THROUGHOUT THE REST OF
THE MOVIE, HE’S TRYING TO SAVE
FACE.
GOT TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT.
>> IS THAT OKAY?
>> IT’S FINE.
>> IT’S ONE OF THE GREATEST
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM MOVIES OF
ALL TIME, I THINK.
>> RIGHT.
>> AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
YOU WORKED TOGETHER BUT YOU CAME
ACROSS AS THE PERFECT COUPLE.
>> I THINK IN TERMS OF
DELIGHTFULLY SHARING THE SAME
KIND OF APPROACH TO COMEDY AS
WELL AS DRAMA IN THIS STORY,
MIXED WITH THE FACT THAT WE’VE
BOTH BEEN MARRIED FOR A LONG
TIME AND TO HAVE A LOT TO KIND
OF SHARE WITH EACH OTHER.
>> TAP INTO.
>> AND DROP ON FOR THE ROLES.
>> AND YOU HAD TWO DIRECTORS AND
BOTH ARE ARGUING SAYING YOU LIKE
ONE BETTER THAN THE OTHER.
>> RIGHT.
>> WHICH ONE DID YOU ENJOY?
>> WELL, IT’S STILL A TOSS-UP
FOR ME.
BY TOSS-UP, I MEAN NEITHER.
>> SO A TOSSDOWN.
>> I FOUND THEM ANNOYING AND
CONTRADICTING.
>> WE BASICALLY JUST DIRECTED
EACH OTHER.
>> I DON’T KNOW WHAT THOSE GUYS
DID.
>> THEY SHOWED UP.
THEY WERE AROUND.
>> YOU GUYS TITLED IT SOMEBODY.
>> YOU KNOW WHEN ALL THE ADULTS
IN PEANUTS CARTOONS TALK, THAT
WAS THE SOUND OF THEIR VOICES TO
US.
>> IT’S SO TRUE, LITERALLY.
>> WELL, THEY HATED JIM, SO I
GOT TO SPEAK WITH A LOT OF --
>> I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE
CLOSET.
>> WE WOULD TAKE THE GONDOLA UP
AND THEN TAKE THE GONDOLA UP.
WE’D HAVE SOUP.
WHEN WE WOULD COME DOWN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
NOW THE MOVIE WAS PLAYED MORE OF
A DRAMA.
THIS ONE IS ABOUT THE COMEDY
HERE?
>> IT’S A DRAMA WITH COMEDIC
ELEMENTS.
THAT’S THE BEST WAY TO PUT IT.
>> WHAT’S THE VERDICT HERE?
>> LOVED IT.
I’D GIVE IT A 4.
ANOTHER REASON I GIVE IT A 4, 88
MINUTES LONG.
THEY DIDN’T NEED THREE HOURS OR
SOMETHING TO TELL THIS STORY.
THEY WENT IN, DID WHAT THEY HAD
TO DO AND GOT OUT.
>> THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
SOMEBODY’S IN MY EAR TELLING US
TO MOVE ALONG.
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG GETTING 68%
OF ROTTEN TOMATOES.
I HEARD THIS IS A CASH GRAB.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> IT’S FOR KIDS.
HERE ARE MY INTERVIEWS.
>> THAT’S NOT GOOD. >> PLAYING THE GAME UNTIL 2, 3 IN THE MORNING.
YOU’D BE IN THE MOVIE.
>> YES, SIGN ME UP.
I WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS.
IT’S RARE TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY
FROM THE BIG SCREEN THAT HAS
SUCH MYTHOLOGY AND HISTORY AND
POP CULTURE.
X-MEN WAS A SPECIAL THING FOR ME
TO BE A PART OF.
TO BRING THIS GUY TO THE SCREEN
IS PRETTY COOL, TOO.
>> AND YOU’RE WORKING WITH
SOMEONE WHO IS BLUE AGAIN.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON TO
REALIZE THAT.
IT’S TRUE, YES, AND HE WAS ALSO
PAINTED.
BUT ON A COMPUTER.
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> THIS WAY, YOU’RE THE SHERIFF
IN YOUR HOMETOWN WHERE YOU GREW
UP.
LIKE ANYBODY, YOU THINK IT’S
GREAT TO MOVE TO SOMEPLACE
BIGGER AND ALL LIKE THAT, WITH
YOUR FAMILY.
>> IT FEELS LIKE THERE’S MORE
PURPOSE OUT THERE FOR ME AND
MEETS THIS GUY UNEXPECTEDLY AND
BECOMES FRIENDS WITH HIM AND
LIKE A FATHER FIGURE FRIEND TO
HIM AND DISCOVERS, YOU KNOW, HIS
NEW DEFINITION OF PURPOSE THAT
WAY.
>> YOU PLAYED IT LIKE EVERYBODY
ELSE DOES.
>> YEAH.
>> COULD YOU IMAGINE AS A KID
GOING ONE DAY I’M GOING TO BE
HIM.
>> I NEVER SAW THIS COMING, ME
BEING AN ACTOR.
TO VOICE THIS IS A DREAM COME
TRUE.
THOSE ARE THINGS I GREW UP WITH
AND IT’S THE IMPETUS TO WHO I AM
AS A HUMAN BEING.
>> AND YOU HAVE THE BIG ENEMY.
>> DR. ROBOT, EGG MAN, JIM
CARREY.
HE’S SO FUNNY IN IT.
IT MADE ME SO HAPPY.
I FEEL LIKE IT’S VINTAGE JIM
CARREY, STUFF I GREW UP LOVING.
HE DOES A PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT
AND YOU’RE BLOWN AWAY THAT HE
COULD BE SO FUNNY BY MOVING HIS
FINGERS.
>> HOW MANY REELS?
>> THREE.
>> THREE REELS.
WE’VE GOT PETAL BALLS FROM SONIC
AND A GLOW IN THE DARK BALL AND
ACTIVITIES BOOKS FOR THE KIDS.
AND SOME COMPLIMENTARY PASSES TO
SEE THE MOVIE, AS WELL AS SOME
MORE FUN THINGS FOR THE KIDS TO
DO.
ALSO THERE’S A BOX OF GLITTER UP
THERE.
AND THEN FOR DOWNHILL, WE’VE GOT
THE COFFEE MUG THAT, BOOM, ONCE
IT HEATS UP IT SAYS SOMETHING
AND HAND WARMERS HERE AND A
PROTECTIVE CASE FOR YOUR CELL
PHONE AND A MEDICAL KIT FOR YOUR
CAR THAT HAS BANDAGES AND STUFF
LIKE THAT AND BEANIES THAT ARE
WARM FOR THE OUTDOORS.
SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO WARM
