In 2014, Denman appeared as the supporting character Jim Vance in Men, Women & Children, an independent dramedy starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Garner, and Judy Greer. The film deals with various perils of the online world, with controversial topics ranging from hardcore pornography to MMORPG addiction and internet-assisted body-image disorders.
The film was a critical and commercial failure, bringing in a measly $306,367 over its opening weekend—the sixth worst since 1982 for a movie opening on over 600 screens. Critics clearly found the film far from engaging, and its gross was just a fraction of its $16 million budget—proving once again that a big-name cast alone doesn't necessarily put butts in cinema seats, especially in a genre that relies heavily on positive critical reviews and word of mouth.
Still, with Denman only playing a relatively minor role, it's not like he was to blame for the expensive failure.
