God yes! What was going on with the brat pack in the eighties??? What the hell was that? I tried so in the name of cinephilia to experience the whole john hughes et al. thing and i must have just missed it (born in 1988 - might have something to do with it) McCarthy makes me homicidal with confusion.

I've never noticed the crying jag thing, what i can't get past is that weird eye thing that he does. It's like he feels like he has to widen his eyes to make a point. Unfortunately th effect is a cross between joan crawford in mommy dearest and some cracked out guy.

I think the whole thing's funny as hell, the eyes and the mouth combined. It's like he thinks that the "owl eye" look is earnest or something. That with the creepy little grin & it makes him look like perfect boyfriend by day, serial stalker and maimer of small animals by night or something. Meh. I love 'im anyway, strange facial expressions and poor acting notwithstanding.

All I can think of is Jay Mohr's impression on him on Saturday Night Liveanyone remember that? When there was a game show and Jay Mohr was doing a skit as Andrew McCarthy and was sitting there weeping? And in the same scene, someone was doing an impression of Christopher Walken and yelled at him and telling him "Andrewcan you ever stop weeping" Perfect! I may be aging myself a bitbut does anyone remember that?!?

Yeah, I noticed that, too, and he acts like that in every movie I've seen him in.
What's also funny is that when his character notices that Julian has just died, he reacts exactly the same way he does in "Weekend At Bernie's", when they find Bernie's body. -

LOLthe whole wide eyed crying fits actually have been compared to actor Montgomery Cliff. Cliff often expressed such great sorrow or sadness by eyes wide open and emoting leading to tears as well. For me (who was all about the Andrew)it was pure acting from a beautiful act-tor.
