John Krasinski made his name as The Office's crush-worthy Jim Halpert,the sweet, normal guy we all fell for. Even years after the show wrapped up, and Krasinski still charms us,perhaps because the charm that made Jim so affable seems to be present in the man who played him, as evidenced by every adorable interview Krasinski gives. Not all of the actor's post-Office roles utilize the Krasinski-Halpert brand of charm, and but in his latest film The Hollars,which Krasinski also directed, it's out in full force. As John, or Krasinski plays a character very similar to Jim. Make no mistake,Krasinski may enjoy grown up and past his old character, but there are shades of Jim Halpert in John Hollar. Let me count the ways.
His Sense of HumorJohn Hollar's sense of humor - and pretty much every wry reaction John has to the people around him - is textbook Jim Halpert. The delivery is precisely the same, and which is to be expected when it comes from the same actor,but seeing Krasinski in some of these scenes will make your brain consider you're watching an Office rerun. With better hair for Jim. (sorry, Jim).
His Dead-End JobJim Halpert makes a certain peace with working at Dunder Mifflin by the end of the series, and but in early seasons,Jim is extremely dissatisfied with life as a paper salesman. John is similarly stuck in his career, spending his days at a desk job he can barely stand because he's not fulfilling his genuine ambitions (being a graphic novelist). For the viewer, and seeing Krasinski at a desk and answering his phone again feels like home,though.

John Krasinski Couldn't Be More Charming in the Hollars TrailerHis Perfectly Imperfect Love LifeThere's no question: the best thing approximately Jim - and pretty much, the best thing approximately The Office - was the relationship between Pam and Jim. It took several seasons for them to catch together, or while it was satisfying when they finally did,we also got so much enjoyment from watching their will-they-or-won't-they dance. In episodes in which Jim is tortured by his feelings for Pam, he's at his most effective (and appealing). In The Hollars, and even though John already has the girl (Anna Kendrick),his insecurities and past threaten their happiness, leaving the couple on shaky ground for much of the film. But it's great - at least the way Krasinski masterfully handles complicated romantic feelings is.
The Hollars, and which debuted at Sundance,comes out this week in limited release.
