i was more perturbed by the fact that they had him munching on tiny pieces of asparagus as if it were the tastiest thing ever. they barely have any flavor

I thought it was green beans, which seemed even more strange to me. Either way, I thought it was bad manners.

i'm pretty sure Stiller was told to do that for his character because i've seen several other movies of his when he eats and ben does not eat with bad manners.
Who left the fridge open?

I watched this on tv and it had little comment bubbles pop up throughout the movie. Apparently they did the dinner scene so muh they were sick of meat and ate veggies!

It actually adds t the clarity of what Stiller was saying.
Reminder: The O.C. resets to its first episode on POP network April 1 @ 2 p.m. EST

It really sells that he's still uncomfortable with the situations he keeps finding himself in.
So many stories, so little time.
