I just saw it last night with my aunt! (She enjoyed it, btw)
During the dance-off scene, you know Pace has acting chops because he didn't crack up.
Amazing how so many of the characters have stayed with me into the next day. The biggest surprise was Bautista's Drax, who was yet another key point of comic relief and good characterization.

Yes. I totally didn't expect to like him, but he ended up being my favorite character.
I would like to star Theo and Steph's posts.
The thing that makes me even happier about Drax is that Bautista really, REALLY wanted the part and apparently broke down and wept when he heard he got it.
I've used the "over the head" quote in "straight" discussion, and it plays very well. Now, if it had his delivery...that would be a nice keeper clip.

Film Crit Hulk has a really good analysis of how the GotG script uses humor to establish character and draw the audience into the narrative.

There's often nothing worse than explaining a joke, but that is a GOOD essay.
