6. Just Add Water
Cast: Dylan Walsh, Jonah Hill, Justin Long, Danny DeVito
The residents of a rundown desert town find themselves at the mercy of a teenage drug baron (Will Rothhaar) who’s snapping up all their property. When Ray’s (Nip/Tuck’s Walsh) marriage crumbles, this pissed-off Mr. Nice Guy channels his anger into freeing his town from Rothharr’s grubby grasp. No, this isn’t Walking Tall with a scalpel instead of a 2x4, but a leisurely paced but perceptive comedy about taking controlling of your life. Hill gets all anxious on us again as Ray’s slothful son, but anyone hoping for an Accepted reunion will be disappointed to learn Long’s appearances as Rothhaar’s right-hand man are few and far between.
DVD Features: None.
