...Dillon and evidently the best sport in Hollywood.) Dillon gives depth and poignancy to a one-joke character. Admittedly, it's often a great joke, as when Drama brags about having been on "Blue"--it turns out he means not NYPD but Pacific Blue, the mid-'90s show about buff bicycle cops. Grenier, likewise, gives Vince a sweet, dim Vinnie Barbarino appeal. Vince doesn't read scripts--even for the movie he just made--but he seems savvy enough to know the utility of his dumbness...

It takes the help of her old chum Matt (Mark Ruffalo), who has morphed from the loser boy-next-door to a tanned, buff, hot-but-doesn’t-know-it in that aw-shucks way photographer, to set things right.
