I can't remember the name of this Rick Moranis movie. It's driving me crazy.

In it, Moranis plays a nerdy smart guy who is unsure of himself.

Can someone help me with the name of this movie?

He wasn't a nerdy, smart guy who was unsure of himself in Strange Brew.

Along those same lines, I'm trying to think of a Will Ferrell movie. He plays a man-child type guy who's full of himself and oblivious to the world around him.

That could just as easily describe most Adam Sandler films.

Adam Sandler's characters aren't usually full of themselves.

I'm trying to remember a Vince Vaughn movie. It's the one where he plays a confident, fast-talking and likeable guy, who's immaturity has complicated his relationships with those around him.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I'm trying to remember this Tom Hanks movie in which he plays a likable everyman who overcomes some transcendent personal challenge.

I'm tying to remember the Robin WIlliams movie, where he plays a silly character for his trade, but as things progress, serious **** occurs, tears are shed, but afterwards everyone is a better person for it.

Man you are such a Debbie Downer lately. Can't leave us to enjoy ourselves, though, no! I'm sure this is just your way of trying to bring the Lounge back to its former glory. (Insert rollseyes here)

Unfortunately, Ferrell has Stranger Than Fiction and Sandler has Spanglish to ruin their otherwise perfect records.

I'm trying to think of a Queen Latifa movie. She played a large black woman with an attitude.

Also, I can't seem to come up with a Wanda Sykes movie. She's sassy.
