What’s that, you say? When asked what’s the most recent sequel film that Stan the Man appears in, you say “Spider-Man 2?”
More fool you.
Stan told me about it at San Diego, but said he wasn’t sure it was going to be in the final print. So I didn’t want to say anything until I saw it myself. But yes, by gosh, folks who sit through “Princess Diaries 2” and actually remain conscious until the last twenty minutes will see Stan himself trading bon mots with Julie Andrews. His character makes a ham-handed, strangely accented pass at Andrews’ queenly character, punctuated by loud “Whoop whoop whoop” noises. The flummoxed Andrews is informed by the young woman accompanying Stan, “Please excuse my Uncle. He learned all his English from watching Three Stooges movies.”
Personally, I think the film needed much more Stan. But Ariel liked it, as did the movie audience which was almost entirely little girls and their moms, so I hardly think I was the target audience.
Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
