Watching the World Series and this trailor comes on. They were
playing "Looks Like We Made It" throughout. Even had Robert Downey Jr
singing it in a car scene. I love when Barry's songs are used in
films and it's still thrilling when I am completely surprised by it.

Just saw the commercial. It is long, over 60 seconds, and LLWMI plays
the entire time!

Loved it, and that's my all time favorite Manilow song anyway!

It's so rare that I have any kind of "news"....

This was a lot of fun. My husband called me from the living room
because he had flipped channels and stumbled upon it as well. It was
really long. I guess because it was a promo for the movie during the
World Series so they extended it. Loved it.

Sharon, it's also one of my favorite songs.

An old friend sent me a link to the promo on YouTube. Thanks,
friend... you are missed.

Maria --

I saw it as well - was half paying attention to the Giants blowout and
goofing off on Facebook -- and all of a sudden I heard Barry singing.

Then to see Robert Downey Jr singing a Manilow song ... oh my! Loved,
loved loved him on Ally McBeal and I'm so glad that he has been able
to turn his career around.

Lohan and Sheen need to take a page from his playbook.

I took a quick peek at the soundtrack from the movie, but I didn't see
Barry listed (the same thing happened with Starsky and Hutch - I think
"Can't Smile Without You" played in the beginning of the movie, but it
didn't make the soundtrack). In any event, I'll see the movie!

What a surprise.

I see there are several spots for the movie. I didn't get the one with
Barry singing in Philly.

I saw Edward Norton singing the Barry song "Ready To Take A Chance
Again" in the film "Keeping The Faith" starring Ben Stiller and Reese
Witherspoon as well, Marvin

Kudos to whoever got that song placed in that movie.

It would be difficult to come up with a name of an actor who's hotter
that Robert D. these days.

(I can't wait to see the movie - it really looks funny)

FYI -

Some friends and I saw the movie last night. The film's gotten mostly
mediocre reviews, but we took a chance and went.

I thought it was lame in some spots, but otherwise pretty funny (if
you can enjoy "dumb" humor, which - in the right mood - I certainly
can!). It even included a couple of "laugh-so-hard-I'm-gonna-pee-my-
pants" moments. Those are always good. :-)

No Barry in the movie, unfortunately. I guess the "Looks Like We Made
It" segment ended up on the cutting room floor.

But nice he "made it" into the trailer.

And Robert Downey Jr. is wonderful. Oh how I love him.

Got news for y'all, it wasn't in the movie. I just got back, so it
must have gotten cut.

Oops, sorry, Brenda, didnt see your post. I loved RDJr in this movie,
so anyone who is a fan of him, should like this movie.

No problem - glad you enjoyed it!

And yes, I completely agree - anyone who thinks RDJr (I like that!) is
entertaining (notice I didn't say "yummy" even though I was certainly
thinking it), they'll love this movie. He's delightful in it.

P.S. I damn near lost bladder control over the whole "Mexico/Texaco"
bit. I'm still chuckling over that one.
