"A Date with Your Family"

Narrator: Now Brother plays the butler…
Servo: From Remains of the Day!

Actually, Anthony Hopkins played the butler from Remains of the Day. Not that this boy wasn’t good—I’m sure he could have played an emotionally repressed, socially awkward man (especially with the material presented here)—but I think Hopkins was a lot better. Remains of the Day stars Hopkins and Emma Thompson as a butler and a maid who come thisclose to starting some kind of relationship (dare I say romance?), but Hopkins’ character is so shy and so devoted to their boss that the opportunity passes by. Christopher Reeves is also in this. This is not everyone’s cup of tea—in this fast-paced world, where everyone drinks gallons of mocha-cappucino-grande-I-don’t-know-what and thus are about as high-strung as hummingbirds on crystal meth, some people find this movie slow and depressing. They’re wrong. This is a great movie.
