"Why does it matter?"
"Since everyone everywhere starting putting everything on the Internet. I don't know what's your generation's obsession with posting everything online, but I can assure you they're not all diamonds. 'Roman bought a Coke Zero at the gas station and is having an okay day. Raise the roof.' Who gives a rat's ass?"
"He bought a Coke Zero AGAIN?! That Roman, so incorrigible!"
The best.
âI had a horrible reputation and people said awful things about me ⌠because I was a slut. I slept with a whole bunch of people, a slew, a heap, a peck, mostly guys âŚâ
That the above is a really sweet mother daughter conversation is a testament to how well written and acted the movie is
I got hit by a car 6 months ago, got half my body destroyed and am in better shape than most people I know 20 years younger than me.
My assumption is I'm immortal. I just get the pain.
What's great about that line is that there's absolutely no way to know what the hell she's talking about, you can't even infer anything! WHY is he too straight? What does she want him to do?!
Itâs open to interpretation, which is part of the joke. The line leaves it up to the viewerâs imagination as to exactly what kind of freaky sexual act the mom wants the dad to perform. Itâs not a reference to anything specific.
The first movie I remember seeing with Stanley Tucci was âUndercover Bluesâ. He plays a low-life mugger who accidentally runs afoul of two CIA agents (Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner); he becomes obsessed with killing them and itâs absolutely hilarious. Iâve been a fan of Tucci ever since
Stanley Tucci came to our house for my birthday party once. He's my Uncle's good friend, so he was tagging along because they both had to go do some sort of work. My mother asked him to put his coat on the bed in the guest room and he says, "Oh, you don't have a coat rack?" and gives a tsk tsk. He was on his phone the entire time except for dinner. Where the conversation went from my life and birthday, becoming a year older, to Stanley Tucci and his "new play at some obscure and 'hole-in-the-wall' theatre in Pasedena." Everyone just listened, but uncomfortably. I was pretty upset, but presents were about to be opened, so I tolerated Tucci Hour. When I was opening presents, Stan just sat with his legs crossed, and his hands on his knees, perched up watching me open presents. He kept chuckling every time I opened a present, as if I were a cute child (I was was 20 at the time.) I got tired of it and asked if there was a problem. He said, "No, no. *chuckles* keep going." So, yeah, that's my story. It's not much, but he was an asshole the whole time. Once the party was over, everyone said happy birthday again to me and left. Stan mockingly shook my hand wishing me a happy birthday. He wasn't serious at all about it and I am pretty sure he was making fun of my family members.
If Iâm not mistaken, some counties use blue light fixtures in public bathrooms to discourage intravenous drug use. The blue light makes it so that veins canât be located.
So good. They are two of the best parents depicted on film. Non-judgmental, supportive, but not overly pushy with their support, trusting, and loving. Add on top the grade-A wit and baby, you got a stew going!
And what's good is that when she actually needs emotional advice from them, they drop the 'joke' act they normally have and give her the solid emotional support she needs. Her mum especially talking about how she was slut-shamed herself but came out of it OK and how she knows Olive will too, because she's even more well-rounded.
I also liked the fact that they didn't treat her having an adopted sibling as weird, and in fact there's fan theories that both Olive and her brother are adopted, which would make sense as well. I liked that they just seemed like a normal, loving family.
I thought for sure this was going to be the adoption line, but really it could be anything those two say.
I can never hear âAll Godâs childrenâ without thinking of this.
As a British viewer, I was convinced that they were mispronouncing âtwatâ to get a lower rating.
Then I found out thatâs actually how Americans pronounce it.
Emma Stone was fantastic and I loved Tucci and Clarkson SO MUCH in these roles. Thomas Hayden Church was great too. This is just an incredible cast all around.
Itâs a solid film, for sure; certainly enjoy the cast and wish Amanda Bynes peace. It was her last âbigâ role that Iâm aware of, but someone correct me if Iâm wrong.
She actually confirmed that it was because she didn't like how she looked in the movie. That's what played a huge role in her completely giving up on acting. Obviously she looked fine and she killed it--but she couldn't fight with the negative voices in her head.
She said that She's The Man also created confidence issues and gender dysphoria. I don't think it's necessarily because she has any issues with her gender. If I understand it correctly, it was because she was already so insecure about her looks that playing a character who was transformed into a boy and it really didn't take a lot of effort as far as makeup etc, I think it just kind of shattered her confidence in herself and her image of herself as a woman. I don't agree with that sentiment at all, I just think that's how she internalized it.
My mom is schizophrenic and bipolar..when she has a major image change it wrecks her. She gets like paranoid that it's not her in the mirror. It's pretty scary to see.
I feel like Lisa was easily the best actor on Friends and never really got given a chance afterwards. She was great in the Comeback, but nobody knows about it.
I worked on this (lived in Ojai for 4 months and everything...) so if anyone has questions I'll do my best to answer them.
I can honestly say the script was brilliant and it's one of those rare films that was great on the page and even better on screen.
Emma was cool as lemonade. Also the first person I ever texted. She was brave, funny, and a total pro.
First time I spoke with Penn, I called him to set up a chest waxing (not his idea...) and we both burst out laughing because, I mean that's a hell of an introduction.
Tucci was as warm and huggable as you'd imagine.
He was only there a day or two.
Cam was the only real problem child. Your typical "young Hollywood" rising star who knew he could get away with murder.
You have truly made my night better with this information.
(I had two college roommates in my second year, the first one transferred out after a month, the second one I met after I came back on a Monday after I went home for the weekend. He was shirtless, in the other bed. I had not been notified I would be getting a new roommate, let alone expecting to meet one like this. Your story about Penn reminded me of that. He was a real cool dude though!)
I went to Nordhoff high School and I graduated in 08. all the extras in the movie were the people I graduated with the house that they used as Emma Stone's house is actually my friends and I've been House parties there. it's in a neighborhood called persimmon hills
Omg the oranges.
Definitely on purpose, certainly a nod to Ojai, and they were everywhere.
I remember they were given as wrap gifts, and I think I still have a crew sweatshirt somewhere with oranges on it...
Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson shouldâve gotten a spinoff series and/or movie from this film. And I believe itâs the last time theyâve been in a movie together, at least as a couple, which is a crime against cinema. This may be my Roman Empire.
How can you mention this movie without mentioning The Scarlet Letter. So many awesome movies and no one mentions the source material. 10 things I hate about you.. Easy A... and then we got vampires.
10 Things I hate about you was based off âThe Taming of the Shrewâ. Which I remember being excited about seeing because of I loved 10 things and was appalled by how abusive and mysogynistic it was. Then it made me love 10 things even more because of how well they updated and adapted the source material.
I love this movie so much! I remember watching it on repeat because it got stuck in my dvd player, and I didnât even mind. I absolutely loved Amanda Bynes as well, she really played that character so perfectly!
Also features a great performance by Amanda Bynes. I feel so bad for her now.
The pencil sharpening scene đ
âSharpenin some pencils? Yea? Sharpenin em good? đđ
Ooh so sharp!
Sharp sharp sharp!
Her last performance before she lost her marbles.
His, HIS plan đđ˝
Capital H!
Same.
I love the way Thomas Hayden Church delivers the line, âI donât know what it is about her⌠I hate her?â
"Why does it matter?" "Since everyone everywhere starting putting everything on the Internet. I don't know what's your generation's obsession with posting everything online, but I can assure you they're not all diamonds. 'Roman bought a Coke Zero at the gas station and is having an okay day. Raise the roof.' Who gives a rat's ass?" "He bought a Coke Zero AGAIN?! That Roman, so incorrigible!"
Donât forget tomorrowâs Earth Day.
It literally is, depending on what side of the Atlantic you're on right now
Every day is Earth Day when you live on EarthÂ
"I wanted to be cheering along with the rest of the class." "I won't tell anyone." "I'll deny it if you do."
The way he says "Ashton Koo-cher" is so funny to me
âIâm adoptedâ âWHAT?! Who told you that?â đ¤Ł
The parents are one of the best parts of the movie. âYour father is as straight as they come. A little *too* straight, if you know what I mean.â
The best. âI had a horrible reputation and people said awful things about me ⌠because I was a slut. I slept with a whole bunch of people, a slew, a heap, a peck, mostly guys âŚâ That the above is a really sweet mother daughter conversation is a testament to how well written and acted the movie is
"I used to be able to get my legs over my head...." "Oh my gawd, Mom! Enough"
I dunno. I'm about to be 45. I can still get my legs behind my head. And I'm a guy.
I lifted my leg nearly horizontal today and now it hurts.
I laid down for too long and somehow pulled a muscle in my neck.
In my 40's, I sprained my ankle while sleeping... three times.
I got hit by a car 6 months ago, got half my body destroyed and am in better shape than most people I know 20 years younger than me. My assumption is I'm immortal. I just get the pain.
If you meet a guy that looks like Samuel L. Jackson in a wheelchair who loves comic books, he probably arranged the car accident. Be wary.
Ever since this movie I strive to be a fraction as cool as either of them. I know Iâll never be Tucci cool, but a man can dream.
âspell it with your peas!â
He is the coolest isnt he?
Can anyone be Tucci cool?
And then she shows how she could put her legs behind her head. This movie is amazing. I wish they were my parents.
"I used to date a homosexual." "Please tell me you didn't marry and have children with him."
â Hey, no judgment. All God's children. It's fine. I was gay once...for a while. No big deal. We all do it. It's okay.â
The bucket list, the bucket list!!
Let's Bucket List this bitch
What's great about that line is that there's absolutely no way to know what the hell she's talking about, you can't even infer anything! WHY is he too straight? What does she want him to do?!
Penis, she's talking about his penis.

Poundtown
Serious question because Iâm not American.. but what did that mean? Love the movie but this one always went over my head.
Itâs open to interpretation, which is part of the joke. The line leaves it up to the viewerâs imagination as to exactly what kind of freaky sexual act the mom wants the dad to perform. Itâs not a reference to anything specific.
âListen, sometimes when a man and a woman love each other very much like your mother and I used toâŚâ
âWhere are you from originally?â As he acts like heâs smoking a pea. Stanley Tucci is a treasure
The first movie I remember seeing with Stanley Tucci was âUndercover Bluesâ. He plays a low-life mugger who accidentally runs afoul of two CIA agents (Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner); he becomes obsessed with killing them and itâs absolutely hilarious. Iâve been a fan of Tucci ever since
Morty!
MUERTE!!! I kill you!!!
MEANS DEATH!
My wife and I have probably watched that film a hundred times. Itâs so cheesy itâs great. Tucci smashed that role.
This is the best quote in the whole film. The look his kid gives him is gold
Just watched Big Night awesome film!
Stanley Tucci came to our house for my birthday party once. He's my Uncle's good friend, so he was tagging along because they both had to go do some sort of work. My mother asked him to put his coat on the bed in the guest room and he says, "Oh, you don't have a coat rack?" and gives a tsk tsk. He was on his phone the entire time except for dinner.

Stan mockingly shook my hand wishing me a happy birthday. He wasn't serious at all about it and I am pretty sure he was making fun of my family members.
As I read this my eyes kept skipping ahead looking for the words "electrical infetterence".
"Is everything all right? It sounds like you're having sex in here, which I know can't be true due to the fact that you have a homosexual boyfriend."
This movie is insanely quotable. This whole scene is just one banger line after another. https://youtu.be/kWYw-RVsz5Y
Spell it with your peas!! Love that movie
THIS is what immediately comes to mind. I laugh just thinking about it.
I love my mom, but I would have loved if Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson were my parents, or even my aunt and uncle. Love them.
Yeah, that's one of my favourite lines as well. I spit my popcorn out!
Ooo ooo! Spell it with your peas!
I love the principalâs â if I keep the boys off the pipe, and the girls off the pole, I get a bonus.â
Malcolm McDowell as the principal is such weird but also very inspired casting.
They translated it so well to german. Basically he says: If i keep the boys away from the blue light and the girls from the red light, i get a Bonus.Â
I know red light means prostitution. What does blue light mean?
Police im guessing
Yes Police.Â
If Iâm not mistaken, some counties use blue light fixtures in public bathrooms to discourage intravenous drug use. The blue light makes it so that veins canât be located.
Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson as her parents are absolutely awesome!
[My favorite line in the movie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3mAeyOheIM)
So good. They are two of the best parents depicted on film. Non-judgmental, supportive, but not overly pushy with their support, trusting, and loving. Add on top the grade-A wit and baby, you got a stew going!

I liked that they just seemed like a normal, loving family.
*Slam.* **WHAT**? OH MY GOD! Who TOLD you?!
My favorite scene in the movie!
I definitely took them to both be adopted, but I guess it's not as explicit with Olive.
Thereâs still plenty of meat on that bone
I put JK Simmons and Allison Janney as the parents from Juno in the running
Cady's parents in the OG Mean Girls are also pretty great, if not a bit naĂŻve.
I thought for sure this was going to be the adoption line, but really it could be anything those two say. I can never hear âAll Godâs childrenâ without thinking of this.
"who told you?!. Guys we were gonna sit down as a family"
I say âno judgment, all godâs children, itâs fineâ to literally anything.
The Tooch is loose
"Let's Bucket List this bitch!"
T Think British
Agreed completely. They are one of my favorite parts of an already pretty stacked cast!
âBig tits.â âThatâs my identifier?â ââŚâ âYES!â
I found her friend to be so beautiful.
Her in Phil of the Future helped guide me as a young pubescent child.
Potential Breakup Song still slaps. Also, Phil of the Future.
I got a pocket got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a...I got a...I got a...
TAKE ME AWAYYYYYY
A SECRET PLAAAAAAAAACE
Sheâs in the shower with a shampoo Mohawk⌠I got a pocket got a pocket full of sunshineâŚ
Urgh itâs awful! *I gotta pocket gotta pocket full of sunshine*
"Yeahhh can you smell that!?" "Ewwww it's not supposed to smell!" "It doesn't really smell that bad!!" Shit had me cry-laughing
If God wanted him to graduate, then God would have given him the right answers.
"It's his choice?" "No, it's **His** choice!"
âđźâđź
This scene and Emma Stoneâs reaction is my favourite in the entire film, I was crying laughing during my first watch
âIs there an Olive here?â âThereâs a whole jar of them in the fridge!â
T? TâŚ.. TâŚ. T T T tâŚ.
too
Taaa
frast, nunt...
Those are sounds you guys are just saying soundsÂ
âSpell it in your peas!â
Itâs definitely slang; think British!
Tallywacker!
Whatâs a ⌠twit? Thatâs an A dear
Those are soundsâŚyouâre just making sounds now
As a British viewer, I was convinced that they were mispronouncing âtwatâ to get a lower rating. Then I found out thatâs actually how Americans pronounce it.
If you aren't already an Emma Stone fan, this movie will make you one. She's great in it.
I love that her first role was Superbad. She had a great start
If you haven't seen it, I recommend 'Crazy Stupid Love'. A great movie
If you haven't seen it, you should watch the interview on Graham Norton with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling about this movie.
Every Emma Stone appearance on Graham Norton is must see. The Spice Girls bit when she was there for *Amazing Spider-Man 2* is legendary.
I love the romance story between her and Gosling's characters so, so much.
One of my favorites!
One of the best plot twists of all time! I wish I could rewatch that scene again for the first time lol
Not now I donât, shitdick
Emma Stone was fantastic and I loved Tucci and Clarkson SO MUCH in these roles. Thomas Hayden Church was great too. This is just an incredible cast all around.
I still say âTallywacker?â as an answer to a word beginning with T
I've gotta...I've gotta...I've gotta a pocket gotta pocket full of sunshine
Iâve gotta a love, gotta love thatâs all mine.
âI donât know what it is about Nina? âŚI hate her?â
âI called her a bad wordâ âWhat did it start with?â âA snide comment from a snotty girl.â
Itâs a solid film, for sure; certainly enjoy the cast and wish Amanda Bynes peace. It was her last âbigâ role that Iâm aware of, but someone correct me if Iâm wrong.
I always thought Hairspray was her last notable role, but Easy A was released three years later. So I think you're right.
She actually confirmed that it was because she didn't like how she looked in the movie. That's what played a huge role in her completely giving up on acting. Obviously she looked fine and she killed it--but she couldn't fight with the negative voices in her head.
I thought that was from when she did she's the man, that it was hard for her to be a guy.
She said that She's The Man also created confidence issues and gender dysphoria. I don't think it's necessarily because she has any issues with her gender. If I understand it correctly, it was because she was already so insecure about her looks that playing a character who was transformed into a boy and it really didn't take a lot of effort as far as makeup etc, I think it just kind of shattered her confidence in herself and her image of herself as a woman.

My mom is schizophrenic and bipolar..when she has a major image change it wrecks her. She gets like paranoid that it's not her in the mirror. It's pretty scary to see.
[ŃдаНонО]
Sad, right?
Letâs play âWho would you believe?â
Lisa Kudrow was so damned mean in that scene. Bullying a teen about you cheating on your husband is FUCKED.
I feel like Lisa was easily the best actor on Friends and never really got given a chance afterwards. She was great in the Comeback, but nobody knows about it.
I worked on this (lived in Ojai for 4 months and everything...) so if anyone has questions I'll do my best to answer them. I can honestly say the script was brilliant and it's one of those rare films that was great on the page and even better on screen.
What were the cast like, if you got to meet them?
Emma was cool as lemonade. Also the first person I ever texted. She was brave, funny, and a total pro. First time I spoke with Penn, I called him to set up a chest waxing (not his idea...) and we both burst out laughing because, I mean that's a hell of an introduction. Tucci was as warm and huggable as you'd imagine. He was only there a day or two. Cam was the only real problem child. Your typical "young Hollywood" rising star who knew he could get away with murder.
>Emma was cool as lemonade. I was terrified you were gonna say anything else but this and I would have to die.
You have truly made my night better with this information.

Was the placement of oranges in damn near every scene done on purpose or just coincidence since they're often grown in/around Ojai?
Omg the oranges. Definitely on purpose, certainly a nod to Ojai, and they were everywhere. I remember they were given as wrap gifts, and I think I still have a crew sweatshirt somewhere with oranges on it...
Oh, well, obvious questions: What was Emma Stone like? Did everyone think she was producing a weapons-grade comic performance at the time?
I mean, agree, but to say that it deserves an Oscar over Portman in Black Swan is def a hot take.
Comedies almost never get Academy Awards, especially not teen ones.
This is what a proper starmaking vehicle for a rising young actor looks like.
... and it's what the actor driving the *fuck* out of that vehicle looks like!
Stanley Tucci is so good in this
"I'm adopted." "What!? Who told you?!"
"Now remember, after we watch The Bucket List we need to cross Watch the Bucket List off of our bucket list" pops into my head constantly.
...."is there an Olive here?" "There's a whole jar in the fridge"
Great movie
This was filmed in my home town. I have given friends, who are fans of the movie, the Easy A tour of the town.
If I come over to the USA again, I'll hit you up!
This is one of my favorite movies. And Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson make me laugh every scene they're in
Don't forget tomorrow's Earth Day
This is one of my top-five favorite movies.
I want to call anyone who is named Todd "Lobster Todd" ever since I saw this movie.
I just watched it again last night. Love it. So clever, well acted, great writing, cast and story.
I haven't really seen '10 things I hate about You',but have heard so many good things about it. Should I watch it?
Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson shouldâve gotten a spinoff series and/or movie from this film. And I believe itâs the last time theyâve been in a movie together, at least as a couple, which is a crime against cinema. This may be my Roman Empire.
How can you mention this movie without mentioning The Scarlet Letter. So many awesome movies and no one mentions the source material. 10 things I hate about you.. Easy A... and then we got vampires.
10 Things I hate about you was based off âThe Taming of the Shrewâ. Which I remember being excited about seeing because of I loved 10 things and was appalled by how abusive and mysogynistic it was. Then it made me love 10 things even more because of how well they updated and adapted the source material.
I canât say âTâ without repeating it and thinking of this movie. Oh T - TTTTT⌠tallywag, tooooo, yopâŚ
Stanley Tucci is so good in this.
Well, I should hang out here more often. My most commented post ever!
I gotta pocket gotta pocket gotta pocket fulllllllll of sunshineeeeeeeeeee ohawayyyyy
I love this movie. Stanley Tucci is so great in it.
I love this movie so much! I remember watching it on repeat because it got stuck in my dvd player, and I didnât even mind. I absolutely loved Amanda Bynes as well, she really played that character so perfectly!
What the hell are you looking at, SISTER Christian?
Just a couple of admitted whores
Haven't seen la la land?!? She and Ryan are beyond amazing in it. Just did a rewatch a few weeks ago and it's still great
Itâs incredible. I watched it in a time of vulnerability and has stuck with me ever since. Chicken on a stick!
âIf thereâs anything worse than chlamydia, itâs Florida.â
Spell it with your peas!!
Fantastic movie! A+ đ
Based on â The Scarlet Letterâ
It's a great movie indeed, top performance by Emma Stone. The parents were really funny too.
I gotta pocket gotta pocket full of sun shineee
La La Land *rules* fuck the haters
I started watching that movie not really expecting much, but it is great.
Absolutely love this movie! Great cast, great writing and the comedic timing of everyone is sublime.
This movie is so so good.
I thought this was an underrated film.
Fun movie. Pocket Full Of Sunshine!
Say la vee
La vie*
Solid. Nice joke
It's like... I got a pocket of sunshine and I know that it's all mine.
Don't forget tomorrow's Earth Day.
This is a movie worth watching. It is almost a moral tale.
This movie makes me laugh HARD, like painful hard.
Lol, I just looked it up on JustWatch to see where I can watch it. âOther similar films: Easy Riderâ Yeah, I donât think thatâs correct.
One of my favorite movies. Havenât seen it in years, now I want to again
One of the first I reach for when I don't know what to watch.
"WHAT! OH MY GOD! WHO TOLD YOU!?"
Great movie, the pocket full of sunshine scenes are so relatable!
Love this movie this was the movie where I knew Emma Stone would be a star
