wow that looks completely retarded.

lol, I was thinking the same thing.

personally, I think the architectural community is better off being associated with Brad than with Sandler...

i dunno, adam sandler sure was good in punch-drunk love...and his repressed rage and obsessive-compulsive tendencies were pretty close to the personalities of a whole lot of architects i've known

although david hasselhoff playing the firm's principal does add credibility to the whole thing!

the end is upon us my friends...

david hasselhoff and adam sandler in the same movie. i believe that is one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

This movie inspires me in that if a total loser like Adam Sandler can get a wife like Kate Beckinsale, then maybe there is hope after all.

quondam, I did notice that. The question is, what are you formerly of?

i might see it for christopher walken

'By the time I'm done with you, you will all be wearing gold plated diapers.'

oh come on-- Punch-Drunk Love and Spanglish were really good performances by him. The research Sandler did with Thomas Keller for Spanglish speaks really well to his commitment for authenticity here. IT'll all end up on par with LIfe as a House, which is fine. really, lighten up.

Am I the only one that thinks this looks kinda cute?

Anyway, I'm glad that an architect is shown working his ass off. We need people to be educated about what an architect actually does. How many times have I heard "oh, so you like, draw things all day?" in a disparaging way?!?!

Firewall looks pretty bad too, eh? Isn't that about an architect who designs a bank and is forced to help some guy rob it? How dumb is that? Do people really think only one person sees construction drawings.

I much prefer Prison Break.

wow a remote control to shut my girlfriend up... hmmmmm...
a remote control to shut my boss up... hmmmmmm....

Thats always a good feeling to see an architect in any movie! Its pretty rare, but when somebody plays a role as an architect, they always have a nice place to live, and always work in a large firm. And always live in suburbs for some reason... But the point is that architect is a pretty stable and always a respected career.

Sadly enough i've spent many hours looking at plans and surveying varoius BB&By's. While they do have a 'way way back' it's usually just for the sprinkler system, and more importantly, no one as cool as christopher walken EVER works there.

I think it looks like a cute, funny movie. Probably not entirely accurate, but good to see in a movie.

I have to agree with Prison Break, though. It's completely addictive.

This movie is going to be huge in Germany.

I'll see it, just to see if my head explodes from seeing Beckinsale, Sandler, Hasselhoff, and Walken in the same film. With Sandler as the star.

Usually, movies tend to us more prestigious professions like lawyers and doctors as professions for the characters. As you saw in the preview, David Hasselhoff calls the shots. He demands when the projects should be finished. It wouldn’t be realistic to use a lawyer or doctor for that role. Clients or patients never call the shots. An architect fits the profile perfectly as the loser who accepts every deadline a clients sets and gets pushed around by everyone.

Tom Selleck-Three Men and a Baby. One of the finest performances of an actor playing an architect I have ever seen. Where was the oscar.

Don't forget about the father on the old Nikelodean show "Clarissa explains it all". He was also an architect. Kind of the feeble type too.

lets not forget Mike Brady...

guess in the seveties, an architect made a big enough salary to support a family of 6 kids .....

yaya Brady Bunch...

Charles Bronson in DeathWish... the ultimate bad-ass architect.

The movie sucks, but whenever I have a problem at work, I remember Paul Newman in "the tower inferno" and ask myself: "what would he do"?

You can’t be more misinformed about what you call prestigious professions; I have first hand experience regarding MDs and how much crap they have to put up with, patients that think that by reading a few web pages are experts and can self diagnose any illness, being paged at all hours of the day. MDs simply give options on treatment the patient makes the critical decisions other than in critical emergency care.
The practice of law is so broad that it depends on the area of practice, but they also are at the mercy of their clients and senior partners. In my family each one of these professions are represented; we all have to put up with similar misrepresentations of what actually mean to practice in one of these professional fields. As per the video clip, Sanders playing and architect ;I have seen worse, like Richard Gere and Woody Harrelson.
I do feel that most non architect see architects as glamorous/prestigious professionals, go figure.

apps are going to be WAY up

At least Md's get paid for it. That should make it all worth it.

as they should. not that architects should not, but lives depend on what they do.

Someone once said here on the forum: Doctors save your live and lawyers give you a life. That makes their value high. But then again. truck drivers that work overtime get well paid too and have a higher income than architects.

well, that's an option for anyone who wants more money to do a thankless grueling job with less responsibility and no chance for upward mobility. personally, i'd take a job as an architect even if i earned less than a truck driver.

aghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

As Southpole was referencing (I think), Woody Harrelson's character in Indecent Proposal was an architect... pretty sad. They had to resort to Robert Redford paying them $1 million to sleep with his wife. In the end, they showed him inteviewing for a job at USC... his portfolio was pretty good, if I remember.

the dad in Fear was an Architect

tom hanks was an architect in sleepless in seattle

Working with Adam was just super. He's a really funny, spontaneous guy, but also incredibly professional on the set. Just a super, great, actor, and a superb friend.

Michael Keaton plays a refined, stark, modern California architect in that terrible movie white noise. I was too busy hating the movie and wondering why I was watching it to pick up on the performance

Also current Keanu Reeves in "Lake House" is supposed to be an architect who can't live up to his "famous architect" father. Judging by the cast, sounds like it will be a tough one to sit through. He probably should have just been a race car driver like Bobby Brady, who knew he could never be the architect his father was. I mean, com'on, that cosmetic factory shaped like a pink powder puff? Brilliant stuff.

i saw this last night! so different from the trailer, was quite emotional in places, although the ending was totally lame and bugged me
