Representative transcript notes
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
Praised as the key performer in the movie and possibly the best use of his wacky comic persona.
About 8 minHappy Gilmore (1996)
His nursing-home subplot is praised as an all-time heat-check performance.
About 56 minMeet the Parents (2000)
Praised as the ideal awkward, emasculated comedy lead and one of the movie’s best elements.
About 16 minThe Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
Viewed as a precise, anxious presence whose performance helps define Chas, even if the character is least liked.
About 40 minThere's Something About Mary (1998)
Praised as a thankless straight-man lead whose performance unlocked his long run as a major comedy star.
About 0 minTropic Thunder (2008)
Credited for writing/directing the movie and for a strong straight-man performance, though one host finds him familiar.
About 24 minAlong Came Polly (2004)
Seen as funny and effective, but also overexposed in this era and somewhat repetitive as a persona.
About 16 minReality Bites (1994)
Praised for making Michael more likable and reasonable than expected, though the character is still part of a mainstream/corporate framework.
