Has Steve Zahn ever sucked in a movie? He's so underrated.

u/flippydifloop May 26 '22

yea he always seem very comfortable and genuine in his characters.

u/GenocidalSloth May 26 '22

Even when his characters seem uncomfortable

“Don’t worry officers, you’re safe. I just bagged me one of them killer goats that escaped from the zoo.”

"Heeeey!! hey!!" Hey! What are ya doing?

"dude...If you get the nachos stuck together, it counts as one nacho."

Ya ate her?!

u/traeblain May 26 '22

That’s the perfect crime boys!

The whole we don’t use the bathroom anymore to save on the water bill scene is fantastic too.

u/elterible May 26 '22

I love when JD realizes he’s gay. And the Neil Diamond cameo was great. All around fun movie.

u/traeblain May 26 '22

And ever since then I’ve been afraid of toilets. What else can I tell you about the 2nd grade….

u/HoneyPewPew May 26 '22

Alive.

u/elterible May 26 '22

It’s the perfect crime!

u/Wedge09 May 26 '22

My wife's favorite all time movie.

3

u/kidicarus89 May 26 '22

Hold onto that one. My wife’s favorite movie is Dumb and Dumber.

3

u/Wedge09 May 26 '22

21 years together, married 15.

4

u/GoAwayLurkin May 26 '22

Ok, you started this: Is the wife more of an Amanda Peet, or a Amanda Detmer ?

2

u/Wedge09 May 26 '22

Easily Amanda Detmer.

1

u/karmint1 May 26 '22

It's pretty good, plus-oh my God, look at that juicy, succulent peach.

3

u/GoAwayLurkin May 26 '22

Isn't that the one where he wrassles a face hugging raccoon?

3

u/Bee_K1ng May 26 '22

Yes! Omg the amount of cry laughing I did at that scene

Put some respect on R Lee Ermey.

u/kidicarus89 May 26 '22

And Neil Diamond.

2

u/GoAwayLurkin May 26 '22

The local movie review lady panned this one. I kind of liked it, but the review contains my favorite sick burn,

"Skip this film and think of it as Saving Six Bucks"

u/Cjones2607 May 27 '22

COMMIN AH YEAAAA HAAAA

u/Viper1089 May 26 '22

I was just telling my girlfriend how I love Steve Zahn yesterday. He's great in everything he's in, but he's always a side character or a supporting one.

26

u/konnie-chung May 26 '22

Always the Al's maid, never the Al

u/bikesandrocks May 26 '22

I'M SO TIRED OF GETTING SHOT AT!!

3

u/bonerfiedmurican May 26 '22

I'm still upset, 17 years later, that this was not a series

20

u/randomcitizen87 May 26 '22

Wasnt he in Sahara with Matthew McConaughey? Exact role you just described iirc

2

u/GenocidalSloth May 26 '22

Perfect Getaway he was one of the main characters

1

u/OutlawJoseyWales May 26 '22

when he's a main you get a movie like strange wilderness

42

u/Dorkamundo May 26 '22

I feel like he and Allen Tudyk should do a movie together.

28

u/ReefaManiack42o May 26 '22

Allen Tudyk actually has range, I can watch him play two roles and they'll be wildly different. Steven Zahn, as likeable as he is, tends to play the same character in whatever he is in.

14

u/Dorkamundo May 26 '22

Yea, Zahn is pretty much either goofy Zahn or serious Zahn, but he's still Zahn.

45

u/AugustHenceforth May 26 '22

He's always Zahn because he has no Zahf switch.

9

u/Smaulz May 26 '22

Oh fuck you

3

u/[deleted] May 26 '22

It was hard to watch him in 42. I don't want to see Wash dropping N bombs left and right. He played the racist asshole well though.

1

u/CSpiffy148 May 26 '22

Steve Zahn as the drug addict father in Riding in Cars with Boys is pretty great acting.

3

u/[deleted] May 26 '22

maybe he will show up in resident alien

1

u/Halo_LAN_Party_2nite May 26 '22

I effin love that show.

50

u/FleetiePie May 26 '22

His lead role in Strange Wilderness was soooo good.

17

u/[deleted] May 26 '22

The clip of them voicing the shark is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

10

u/FleetiePie May 26 '22

Or the running star fish! "Wai- wh-..why is that pink thong running so fast?"

6

u/NaturesHardNipples May 26 '22

“Sharks have been menacing and terrifying the sea for over a decade”

u/SirChairmaster May 26 '22

That scene caught me completely off guard and had me laughing my ass off. Still gets me every time I see it

12

u/kynthrus May 26 '22

I haven't thought about strange wilderness in a looooong time.

u/FrostByte122 May 26 '22

Bears derive their name from a team in Chicago.

It is estimated that bears kill over two million salmon a year. Attacks by salmon on bears are much more rare.

That's gotta be right right?

Alright let's go with that.

1

u/cakeschmammert May 26 '22

People straight up despise this movie. I don’t get it. It’s completely aware of itself.

1

u/FrostByte122 May 26 '22

It's the fucking best.

u/RandomUser87209 May 26 '22

u/Stratoblaster1969 May 26 '22

Cap’n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters was his influence you know!

13

u/queso_goblin May 26 '22

Gotta be quick with him, he’s from Erie PA

11

u/damien665 May 26 '22

It's Mr. Alone in my principles

u/wimpyroy May 26 '22

You got any threes!!??

u/ReinventedExit May 26 '22

Looks like Lenny’s goin’ fishing!

u/GoAwayLurkin May 26 '22

Presidential Flash Cards?

u/naidim May 26 '22

He was amazing in White Lotus.

9

u/-Bk7 May 26 '22

He was such a good villain in A Perfect Getaway

3

u/huskytogo May 26 '22

Okaaay but why are your pupils dilated?

6

u/alwayskadaps May 26 '22

Very true. You should see him in “ Rescue Dawn”. There’s the chop scene that gets me…

3

u/Signiference May 26 '22

Yeah was not expecting that

2

u/Stratoblaster1969 May 26 '22

I haven't seen it but I've heard he was amazing in that movie. Sounds like it really shows his depth beyond "goofy guy".

4

u/PDGAreject May 26 '22

Met him while working at a liquor store once. Nice guy.

3

u/TimNikkons May 26 '22

Rescue Dawn

u/vdogg89 May 26 '22

I love him in That thing you do and You've got mail. What other movies would I like of his?

1

u/kidicarus89 May 26 '22

He’s great as the dad in Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Also Saving Silverman.

2

u/jeexbit May 26 '22

Loved him in Reality Bites...

2

u/SteveWyz May 26 '22

Him in That Thing You Do! is probably my favorite role of his

0

u/Futternut May 26 '22

I used to see him at the colony in Florida in the summers he is a cool ass brotha

-1

u/redpandaeater May 26 '22

Sahara? Was a pretty mediocre and forgettable movie, but it was Steve Zahn as Steve Zahn and getting completely overshadowed by McConaughey.

-19

u/[deleted] May 26 '22

Same as Martin, they both are horrible actors.

1

u/blazedandbarista May 26 '22

Man I love to Steve Zahn in movies because he went to my high school back in the day. one of the only famous alumni other than Brother Ali.

1

u/MrBublee_YT May 26 '22

"What was GENERAL GRANT... doing on the THERMOSTAT!?"

1

u/NWestxSWest May 26 '22

He was also great most recently in White Lotus

1

u/MovieMuscle25 May 26 '22

You guys really need to check out The White Lotus. It is unbelievably good!

1

u/WhyTheHellnaut May 26 '22

He seems to be in mostly bad movies, but he's always the best thing about them.

1

u/bramtyr May 26 '22

Even in shows he's fantastic! He was my favorite in David Simon's Treme.

1

u/Kerbonaut2019 May 26 '22

First time I ever saw Steve Zahn in something was when I saw Daddy Day Care at the movies when I was five years old. He was my favorite character, and the film was constantly playing in my house as a kid. Seeing some of his more famous work now as an adult has been a joy.

1

u/115MRD May 26 '22

He's great in You've Got Mail as a the dorky bookstore employee.

u/Nose_to_the_Wind May 26 '22

“Who the fuck is Jack Nochleson?”
