In the commentary track of <i>Serenity</i>, early in the film Joss Whedon mentions (in reference to Michael Hitchcock) how much he likes putting comic actors in serious roles because of how good they tend to be making that move.<br /><br />Connolly's stand up, by the way, is very much worth watching.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-46280094441000144872014-12-12T10:13:09.858-06:002014-12-12T10:13:09.858-06:00I liked this one, too.

At the time I had only seen Connolly in stand up routines so I went in wondering what the heck he was doing in a key role of what was supposed to be a serious drama. He really impressed me with his work on this.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-50866644158471410772014-12-11T15:45:13.050-06:002014-12-11T15:45:13.050-06:00It's probably better than I've given it cr...It's probably better than I've given it credit for being. I like both of the characters, but there was something about this that felt a little sterile to me. I had a hard time engaging with it emotionally.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-4313376896186254222014-12-11T09:22:16.884-06:002014-12-11T09:22:16.884-06:00I really enjoyed Mrs. Brown and was surprised when...I really enjoyed Mrs. Brown and was surprised when friends told me it was very boring (I'd recommended it when it hit home video). It's pretty slow moving, yet I found myself really interested in both of the main characters. It's been a while since I watched it, but the performances are what really stand out like you mention.
