Sounds a lot like the plot of Good Will Hunting

The therapy scene from the Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy Step Brothers; it sounds a lot like Good Will Hunting.

Good Will Hunting v. Community

NBC’s Community riffed on Good Will Hunting this week.

Directly on its behalf.

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Part of the legacy of Good Will Hunting is that a vast number of auditions and acting exercises have used its script as source material.  The web is full of Good Will Hunting scenes recreated, mostly with fairly appalling results.  If you have any doubt that Damon and Affleck (and even Williams) excel in this film, spending a few minutes on YouTube with amateur Will Huntings may change your mind.

The following scenes make some interesting choices interpreting a moment between Will and Skylar.  These performances confirm that it may be impossible to deliver the line “on behalf of my wiener” with any actorly dignity.  I’m not sure how Damon did it.
