Reminded by his long suffering assistant to drive down to his late uncle’s estate, that could’ve easily doubled for Downton Abbey, he arrives in the middle of the wedding rehearsal. McConaughey’s less charismatic brother Breckin Meyer is getting married to the beautiful but histrionic Lacey Chabert. The kid takes all this nonsense to heart.

In the real world this wouldn’t even make the cover of Cracked. Her panicked expression as the apple gets punctured is the shot. Now in her bra and panties, he suddenly places an apple on her head and has some Olympic archer shoot an arrow through it.
