I actually think it's one of his better (read: less annoying) performances, at least since GF and GF Part II, but he's still too into himself. That kind of works in the film though, in my opinion, because if you can get beyond who the actor is, then it's a pretty compelling portrayal of a pathologically narcissistic individual.
I just don't buy his "sell" in the restaurant. Unless the point is that the buyer is a closeted homosexual and sort of being seduced by Roma, which is a theory I saw on one discussion board. But I don't buy that theory either, and if it was Mammet's intention, then it's a bit too opaque.
