- I wouldn't consider myself a Meryl Streep fan but I though she was perfect in
- Defending Your Life. And while I'm on the subject, Albert Brooks has got to be
- one of the funniest peopel in films; he reminds me of some of Woody Allen's
- older comedys. I've seen him in Taxi Driver, Defending you Life, Broadcast
- News, and Lost in America. Even in Taxi Driver he was funny. Albert Brooks is
- definately an underated actor/writer/director.
