Imagine my surprise, then, when my critic at ReelGood reviewed it this week, and the star is Will Arnett.
Could have fooled me.
The reason for my conclusion?
Well, just look at that poster. Isn't that Jake Weber?
It's obviously Laura Dern -- no mistaking that -- but I really did think the other guy was Weber.
Who's Jake Weber, you ask?
Well it's this guy of course:
Now do you see it?
He's been in a bunch of things, many of which don't come to mind at the moment. One of them is my beloved The Cell, though that's a pretty small role. Then again, he's a character actor, albeit one with a leading man's good looks.
Since we're going to the trouble of mentioning him anyway, let's throw in another couple titles I like that feature Jake Weber: Those Who Wish Me Dead and Dawn of the Dead. You have to have "Dead" in the title for Jake Weber to be in your movie.
I don't think you need me to tell you what Will Arnett is in. Though, we haven't seen a lot of him lately either.
I was googling as much as I could to get an actual picture of Jake Weber in profile. But when you google "Jake Weber in profile," you get actual profiles -- as in, magazine or internet puff pieces -- not pictures of him from the side.
Which sort of makes me wonder how many other actors look like someone else when you get a rare glimpse of them in profile.
