"Mine looks like a turd now" -- movie quote help
I can hear the line in my head, I think to do with two people giving someone a gift or maybe making a presentation, and one is vastly outclassed by the other...

Ring any bells for anyone?

3. Exactly right.
It's what Daniel Miller (Albert Brooks) says when he sees the BMW convertible he bought...right before he's killed in a car accident.

"Defending Your Life" is my favorite Albert Brooks film. You didn't ask, but there you go. :-)

4. Man I barely remember that movie
I liked it though - I like all Albert Brooks' stuff. He could read the phone book etc etc...

:thumbsup:

5. It was very nice.
I liked it a lot...I like the premise of it...facing your fears in life and overcoming them. Plus, there was nice chemistry between Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep.

:thumbsup: from Terry, the likable DU film critic. :-)

the car dealer guy shows him the top of the line BMW, then takes him to the littler one he actually bought... "Don't show the ____ first, mine looks like a turd now."
