I think that Robert Downey, Jr. was also in that.

Heh. I actually mentioned this in my meeting today. Technically, I’m cheating. Someone asked me what was bugging me, and I said “I’m trying to remember the movie **Wolf** ” Okay, I didn’t say it with the word bolded. My boss said “oh, that’s the one with Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer, right?” “_THANK_ you!”

Someone please tell me we haven’t used at least one of those… 😛

I only know the two major characters in this film, both of whom have already been played… anyone?

Okay, even with looking at IMDb, the best I can do is

**Jane Morris**

who I don’t know, but who’s been in a slew of romantic comedies. No head shot, so I’m not sure who exactly she is.

I’m not sure either, but after cheating again, it turns out she was in

**Exit to Eden**.

Which, I can tell you, was _way_ toned down from the book. In fact, about the only things that were similar were the titles and the character names. I hear. Er. I was told.

We couldn’t have used Dan Akroyd already, could we?

**Trading Places** (filmed here in my beloved Philly, and with a cameo of my BIL’s brother walking across a bank lobby at one point).

He is what he is and has his moments.

_Nine Months_ I’ve not seen, but that’s the one with Hugh Grant and some redhead as expectant parents, right?
