Chris Garrett,Yes, I did like Grosse Pointe- it's just such a good premise of the hit man going to his high school reunion. And Ackroyd as the twitchy competitor hit man was better than usual. The scene ordering breakfast with the Glocks under the table was memorable and very funny. His role in the first Ghostbusters suited him too. Sorry, did not see "Neighbors".
I think Ackroyd can be funny, but he needs exactly the right kind of writing for his style or for me the annoynace factor goes up very, very, quickly.
I'm sorry to say, once an actor gets on my list, I tend to ignore them a long time- even when they do something worthwhile. I meant to add Bill Muray to my "Getting Annoying" award list, but then he pulled off "Lost in Translation" which put him into a new category (I haven;t seen it however).
Cheers,
