Hi, all.
I've always wondered about those scenes (just the one scene, really) in said movie where Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen are playing "Mortal Combat" and calling each other gay. It's cross-cut with, from what I remember, a serious scene between Steve Carrell and Catherine Keener - but outside of having some sort of cross-cutting significance (as in, creating a relationship between the two scenes) - which I don't think it has, don't these "gay scenes" break POV?
The story POV is Andy's (think that's his name), but the "gay scenes" don't have any sort of impact on his story and were most likely improvised, but, how are they justified for the story, aside from being comedy in a comedy movie?
