It’s rare where even the poster art for a movie is repulsive.

I get it. It’s called Harold because he is losing his hair and looks/acts like an old man. How clever

I can't tell if that is a parody of the stupid reasoning that probably went into coming up with the character's name, or if this is the actual documented basis of it. Either way: groan!

I hope things turned out OK for this kid (the actor).

*does research*

He was in lots of projects before this, and continues to work to this day, good for him.

His sister is the girl from Little Miss Sunshine. But you probably already know that!

Oh, of course, that's why his last name looked familiar. No, I did not already know that, thanks.

4 years earlier, when he was about 12, he got to dance with Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries 2. He played the very short and very young-looking "Prince Jacques Dubé". I assume the scene was played for laughs, I'm just going to assume that performance won him the role of Harold.

Who thought making a movie length pedophilia joke was a good idea? I know a lot of comedy at that time was pointlessly edgy and transgressive without actually having anything to say but still.

At least the co-writer had been dead for six years when it was released and never had to see it. Lucky him.
