- 1985 Hanks is proposed as Paul for stronger awkward-romance comic timing, although his lack of kookiness is questioned.
- Keaton becomes the preferred recast for chaotic energy, while Dunne’s original performance remains loved; Guttenberg is plausible but less desired.
- McCarthy is too young, Reinhold is floated, and alternate eras suggest Cusack circa1990, Josh Hamilton circa1996–97 and Hoffman circa2004–05.
- Eisenberg circa2010–11 and Hader circa2013–14 are proposed; Chalamet seems too handsome and Cooper Hoffman promising but perhaps too young.
What’s Aged the Best?
The acting company, Massachusetts attitude and accents, Amazon’s film investment, score, boats, local details and Gretchen Mol.

- Josh Hamilton and Lonergan’s theater company are praised, including the continuing stage relationships.
- Affleck’s dead-eyed New England anger, two bar fights, impatient driving and brief local-sports details are enjoyed.
- Amazon Studios is credited with putting money into screenplays and actors during a useful early run.
- The score is called very good.
- Having a boat looks appealing in the movie despite upkeep and immediate depreciation objections.
- The self-harm reaction image and a Bridge Nine Records flag are cited as lasting cultural and local details.
- Gretchen is praised as a strong character actress after one participant admits earlier doubt.
- The accent scores are Affleck ten, Gretchen nine, Williams nine, Hedges seven, Chandler three, Donovan roughly two to four, an unnamed local nineteen, and Wilson at least eight after being mistaken for a local.
Probably Unanswerable Questions
Marie’s hair lengths; Josh Hamilton’s character as Grover from Kicking and Screaming; Matt Damon’s delivery of the profane line
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:18:25Read transcript
- Both participants prefer Marie's longer hair, although the shorter style is also praised.
- The panel asks whether the movie is more fun if Josh Hamilton's character is secretly Grover from Kicking and Screaming.
- The imagined story has Grover stay in Europe after heartbreak and take a data-entry job that leads to Conklin.
- A later question asks whether Damon is the greatest actor at delivering the words 'fuck it.'
- Examples from Rounders and this film lead the panel to answer that Damon probably is the best at that delivery.
