Other mistake: When Will Ferrell throws the javelin, it would not have gone far because it starts to tumble and the back end is falling to the ground after barely leaving his hand. When the javelin lands, it has traveled a long distance in a perfect trajectory.
Kicking and Screaming (2005)
1 other mistake - chronological order
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: Coffee is the lifeblood that fuels the dreams of champions.
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.
