Let's talk Denny. Oh Denny, Denny, Denny Boy...

[Bob]

Didn't Tommy say in an interview that the guy who played Denny was slightly retarded?

Here's my thing about Denny/Danny/Donny/Dimwit --

WHEN is it okay to jump into the same bed where two of your friends are getting ready to hit it? (Unless you're invited, of course.) Why would Denny, et. al., think it was even remotely acceptable?

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm trying to impose logic on that which has none.

I think this goes back to the idea that the part of Denny was originally written for a 10 year old. But that of course entails a lot more money, what with the social worker, tutor, etc.

That's the only way it makes sense, since they keep going on and on about how Johnny is like a father to Denny, and yet he's roughly the same age as his fiance.

That sounds like another ret-con.  I mean, the actor didn't seem off mentally.  Other than his acting, that is.  The character was obviously written that way.

To me, this makes the most sense. But still.....why not REWRITE some of the goddamn scenes if you can't get the 10 year old???

Think  I read this in an interview with Tommy via a Torgo's twitter link....

I must find it.   I love his obvious delusions.  This really just seems like another one.  "The movie was supposed to be a comedu!  Denny wasn't written retarded, he was retarded!  Oh hai!"

[starfighter]

    Denny kept reminding me of Mikey from MST #514, "Teen-Age Strangler."    Several times he seemed to be seconds away from saying, 
"Jimmy didn't steal that bike.  I did!"  and bursting into tears.   This would only have improved "The Room."

[RVR II]

So, is Denny the reason the restaurant chain SUX SO BAD?!?!?!

[Rattrap007]

I think Denny was written for a 10 year old, but Tommy could only get a college student, so he made no alterations and decided not to worry about it. It'd be OK.

I would have said 13-15 year old kid, but yeah changed last minute from kid down the street in a "big brother" type program, to homeless college age kid Tommy took in.
