LOL. Have to agree with you there! I couldn't believe how bad and cheesy it all sounded/looked.

I liked it. He reminded of a passionate football coach, only more eloquent.

It seemed forced. no real emotion. The acting in this scene was definitely sub-par.
It didn't even sound like Laurence Fishburn. Too stiff.

I bet Fishburn didn't feel that way. Wasn't he once a stage actor? His speech kinda reminded me of a scene from a play.

I thought it seemed a little forced, too. The whole speech and clubbing scene was the most unnecessary scene in the whole movie, imo. It seemed very out of place.
