left side of the brain: matthew broderick is a good actor and he has range. the character he plays here is nothing like any other character he has portrayed, and he plays it well. besides, an actor is more than the movie characters he plays, and one role shouldn't define him, especially with his amount of skill.right side of the brain: look at that ferris bueller man go
