This movie is an actor's dream too. All these actors got to play different characters all in the same movie and really showcase their range. And of course this highlights Brendan Fraser because he is the center of attention and he is phenomenal, hilarious, and deserves all the praise he gets.
The fact that they only touched up his nose and hair in a different way to make him "great looking" for this character just goes to show how genuinely gorgeous Brendan Fraser is. He's the whole package and I'm thankful that he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
@@anaussie213 Leslie Mann had a huge crush on him while filming that, to the extent that Judd Apatow would stare him down as if to say “no, she’s my girl!”. Makes for a pretty funny interview.
Yes that was a great movie, I think the worst persona of his that the devil gave him that would have pissed me off the most is when he was the basketball player with a 2 inch dick. LMAO
He was so fun to watch in all those 90s comedies. It's terrible how he was abused and blacklisted for speaking out about his victimization. Here's hoping he makes the comeback he deserves
The toxicity of Hollywood really squandered this great actor. He should have had more movies. George of the Jungle and The Mummy are movies I still rewatch.
@@Horace1993 Hollywood is toxic. Most celebrities are able to navigate it without revealing its dark side and the vile effects on their lives and make it seem like a glamorous peaches and cream lifestyle.
Even the actor's are amazing, but you gotta give it to the makeup and wardrobe team. They practically transform these actors into completely different people.
It was all a combination that makes films really good back then, the costumes, make up, the writing and even director being on top form to get the best he wants out of the actors in the movie
This was one of my fav movies growing up. I watched it so many times. I used to have a DVD copy and would play it anytime I had someone over to my house as background noise bc it was so funny & with all the scenes & wishes you could miss scenes and pop back in for the next & still enjoy a laugh, while not missing much of the actual story.
When I saw this movie at the theatre, when the elevator doors opened and Brendan turned around, I remember hearing a few women around me go "Oh wow" lol He was SOOOOOOO fine back in the day.
This was an expert twist, I remember it catching me completely off guard. The suddenness and the realization and his over the top boyfriend made that entire sequence masterfully done, the fact that Frasier played the part like a complete boss makes it that much better.
@mikereyes and oddly enough it was Angela whom got down on one knee and proposed to Tony. Tony and his feminine reply I just don't know if I'm ready as he has one hand pointed left LOL! 🤔🤨🧐🤗
i always thought this movie had no business being as good as it is as underrated as it is. Now i realize...Harold Ramis! And Brendan Fraser is just AMAZING and could be one of the most underrated actors ever.
" a critical deconstruction of the neo-romantic period in art and literature from the economic and political point of view of the industrial revolution in France, England and Germany" lol I used that in a training exercise at work where we had to ask the most off setting questions we could think of, and you had only one minute to answer, and there was this wise guy who was using his phone to look for the answers. After that question he was like: ummm... What?
I can answer that - whenever I focus on Neo-Romantic art from those countries (for the sake of simplicity, we're going for the years of 1850 to 1890 as that is how I've seen it defined), the era was full of rapid political and social changes that led to what we now know as the modern era and as such, we see these countries with cultural identities defined prior to Neo-Romanticism try to find a way to keep their relevancy in the new age. I...admit to bullshitting my way through most, if not all, of that. This comment is meant to be a joke.
this was part of the movie where I used to get really bored and wouldn't pay attention to when I was younger but now that I'm older. the whole scene of him coming home is hilarious lmao
@@aperson7303 honestly that was my favorite wish as a kid. I was into the movie when he was the sensitive guy, the drug dealer, and the basketball player but after that I would lose focus lol
I was engrossed in each iteration to be honest. You think finally he's done it, he is the most desirable man alive, then bam the devil gets him again by making him gay, even as a kid I found that totally ironic and hilarious.
Brandon Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley get a lot of credit- and rightly so- for their depiction of Elliot Richards and the Devil respectively, as indeed does Frances O'Connor as an always slightly different Alison Gardner. However, the unsung heroes of this film are, I think, the actors who appear at 0:45 (the "pooblished" academic and the gentleman to the left of him) and 4:59 (Elliot's gay lover), given that they, too, appear as completely different characters in most if not all of the scenes involving the various "Elliots" we get to see. They make the film what it is.
Somewhat fun fact: the equation on the board shown by Elizabeth Hurley is Feramt's Last Theorem. It existed for 350 years and was solved only recently. The proof shows that you simply cannot find an (x,y,z) solution that satisfies the equation for n>2, So her giving an impossible problem as potential homework for mere highschool students is indeed very devilish XD
And his absurd accent. In Received Pronunciation aka standard English aka the King's (although as Americans they would technically be speaking mid-Atlantic), published is certainly not pronounced poo-blished lol.

Brendan Fraser is truly the celebrity we wish they all would be. He is a wholesome human being and has had his showings how he is wow, human like us.
Good point
and Elizabeth Hurley is hot in every scenario
Basically he can send this off to would be directors and casting agents and show off his range. It's the perfect actor's movie.

One of my favorites comedy movies, I'm glad Brendan is back!
One of the best romcoms that came out of Hollywood. The new batch of writers, directors, etc. can’t produce material like this anymore.
💯
Not without including THE MESSAGE. Back then they just wanted to tell a good story
I think it was a remake of a much older Movie.
Directed by Harold Ramis, R.I.P to a comedy genius.
It’s not a romcom
I hope Brendan will get an Academy Award for Best Actor sometimes in the near future.
Dreams do come true..😁

Omg he is everything in this scene! His expressions and how to talks and gestures. Hilarious. And the "Shut up bitch" did me in 😂🤣😂
Yes! Hilarious!
This was such a fun movie..
I wish Hurley would voice Lara Croft actually. 😄
She would of made a great Lara come to think of it.
I don’t know why comedians can get an Oscar, this movie is a showcase how good and actor should be in order to deliver a believable story.
