Corrected entry: After Will Ferrell's long jump, the officials come up with a very short measurement by holding the tape at the edge of the landing zone, instead of measuring all the way back to the white line at the starting point.
Kicking and Screaming (2005)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Jesse Dylan
Starring: Robert Duvall, Will Ferrell, Josh Hutcherson, Kate Walsh, Mike Ditka
Audio problem: In the scene where Phil starts to cry when he's kissing his wife, you can hear him say "I'm in way over my head" but his lips don't move at all. (00:34:20)
Mike Ditka: Way to go, Bing Bong.
Question: In the scene where Will Ferrell is talking to his wife he says "They were running around like whirling derbishes, and I don't even know what that is" or something to that effect. What is a derbish and why does it whirl?
Answer: An actual dervish (not derbish) is a member of any of various Muslim ascetic orders, some of which perform whirling dances and vigorous chanting as acts of ecstatic devotion (hence the term "whirling dervish"), though in general 'a whirling dervish' is used for anyone who moves with an unfocused, almost frenzied energy.
Correction: The officials know the distance between the starting point and the landing zone, so they only need to measure the distance from the edge of the landing zone and add it to that distance.
