Eli, it's better in the theater. Although there is a better version of the movie out now. I'm waiting for the dvd. It shouldn't be too long.. dvd's are coming out so quickly now. It used to be six months to a year before a movie in the theater makes it out on video.. now it's like three months!
The Granny cracked me up how she kept wanting to make sandwiches. Kevin thought it was a bit dumb that she was so senile and well, dumb.. but it was funny.
I too, wish they would have made Lauren's part a little bigger. But she's made such an impact on the movie, to the critics, her co-workers and producers, her fans, and the media with such a small role. A role that in most cases would have been forgotten or less memorable.
So, yes Cher, Lauren is the one that I think deserves an Oscar. It was small role, but out of the whole movie, she's the one everyone remembers and is more fond of.
I didn't care for Bernie Mac's or the elve's role.. they just weren't that funny.
