I think he was good twice.
Paper Moon
Barry Lyndon
Great directors got a good performance out of him.

I've only seen him in:
Love Story
What's up Doc?
Paper Moon
The Driver
and thought he gave strong performances.

I think the problem there is the writing not the delivery
prior to clicking to play the frame it shows is him holding the letter. I was expecting to see him actually reading something off of it

Apparently they even played up the cheesiness of the line for the ad campaign...
Now I want to see this movie.

The first 3 "Oh man!" aren't funny, but that 4th one is so casual and out of place its hilarious.
I almost wish someone would redo just that scene with either a Minnesota accent or, since its on a beach, a shirtless Matthew McConaughey.

He was perfectly fine in his role in Zero Effect, which I've always enjoyed as a highly underrated film. Really, with the clip in the OP, a director's got to bear the brunt of the blame for a scene like that. It's so fucking atrocious that you either find another way to do it or cut it entirely.
