This is quite possibly one of the funniest and most
unique comedies I've ever seen. The
script and
dialogue are hilarious, and the actor's timing—particularly
Bill Murray’s and
Jason Schwartzman's—are absolutely dead on. Take, for example, the scene in which Bill Murray's character has invited Jason Schwartzman's character
Max along to dinner with the school teacher that Max is in love with and her
boyfriend. Max, who is fifteen, has already
had a few drinks which have been ordered by Murray’s character. The boyfriend is in full hospital scrubs:
- Max (to boyfriend): I like your nurse's outfit, Guy.
- Boyfriend: actually, these are O.R. scrubs.
- Max: Oh are they?
Immediate cut to Bill Murray quietly
choking on his drink
Classic.
