Not the school's, not the townspeople, not the team's, not Myra Fleener's, not mine. It's yours, to do with what you choose.

Owen and Vince

Although Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's work in Wedding Crashers might be the funniest buddy comedy performance ever, their audio commentary for the dvd could easily be number two. These two guys play off of each other better than any team i've heard. Other audio commentaries that I've watched recently that are worth taking a look at; Talladega Nights, Old School, Monsters Inc.
