RDJ Says |
At the time I was working at a restaurant called Central Falls as a busboy, a lot of friends of mine were all auditioning for this ... I had four weeks work in Baby It's You, and I told all my friends I was now, officially, a major talent and film star. And then they cut my scenes out. You don't even see me except in one scene--you see me in the background until this self-indulgent actress leans forward to try and get more camera time. |

2 Reasons to See It |
1. Feeling nostalgic for the Where's Waldo books? Find Robert Downey Jr in this movie! 2. Hmm... maybe the plot, or you like John Sayles or something. Who knows. |
Overall |
Since he's really not in it, I can't recommend that you see it. |
