Matthew Broderick's Day Off

1. He could probably afford to buy a whole company of shovelers but why not do it himself? It will give him some exercise and fresh (questionable) air. I like him and his wife. They don't seem pretentious.

2. The shoveling helps with the plumping.

3. Good for him! Why not shovel the snow? Why pay someone to do it? It's not like it's a huge area and his kid will learn that it's important to do tasks around the house. Plus, I agree with #1, he'll get some exercise. I don't think he's any more plump than before. He's just wearing a sweatshirt, which always adds pounds, since they're inherently bulky.

4. The fact that he IS shoveling his own snow is totally refreshing. I saw good for him. That just shows me he's a down to earth guy.

5. And if he did pay someone to shovel, you'd say "why can't he do it himself"? You guys are a piece of work! I think it's great, and I'm not quite sure I see the plumping. Lets see your photos!

7. Just because a person is rich, doesn't mean that they're freaking helpless!! Although, there have been plenty of rich folk that don't even know what "Cashing a check" is.

8. Well, you're saying he is "plumping", so why wouldn't he shovel his own sidewalk? It seems you just had to put a story to the picture, so you came up with that?

9. He's doing it himself because he's not a lazy snob.

New Yorkers are hardy bunch. They do it for themselves.

10. He doesn't have an assistant anymore because he quit his job. He wrote Little Miss Sunshine and won an oscar. I guess the role is open!

11. From the looks of things, he probably needs the exercise

12. oh no, they are getting desperate, I guess no one checked into rehab, shaved their head, appeared high in a video, flashed their privates, died of a drug overdose, or made racial or homophobic remarks, we better find something really outrageous so we can humiliate some one, anyone? anyone? anyone?
...Bueller?
Since when is shoveling snow a scandal? at least he's not at some club shoveling it up his nose like others in Hollywood! Go Ferris!!

15. good for him wish we saw more stars handling more of their own chores. Seems quite self centered that someone must be hired to do everything for them. Matthew doesn't think he's too good for the world, very commendable. Unlike some other princesses who pay extra to reserve entire wings of rehabs, cause they are too good to mingle with other people, or have to hire people to hold and care for their children.
