Was watching I (heart) Huckabees and noticed Jonah Hill in an early film role (which imdb lists as his first). He gets a few more lines than Seth Rogen in Donnie Darko. Furthermore, he is in one of the best scenes of the film where Mark Wahlberg responds to the conservative, suburban stereotype who says Jesus is never mad at you as long as He is in your heart: "He is, he most definitely is" This film is more than worthy of additional viewings and is still funny and relevant. A movie combining philosophy, environmentalism, existentialism (yes, it does), and slap stick comedy can't fail. It offered a commentary on post-9/11 fears from a liberal perspective (If the past 7 years are any indication, 24 was more indicative of the Republican response).
