As good but not as funny as it gets

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2010)

This movie deals with a lot of drama and angst. It tries to be funny, but really it can not. With that said it is a good and deep feel good story. The story enables one to see a character that has all of the advantages fail in every department, except having money. It has good drama and great lines, like "You make me want to be a better man". The movie shows several people at their worst and contains some logical plot twists that come out of nowhere, like what happens to the one Character near the end to enable him to go on with his life. The comedy of the movie seems to fail because it is all directed at picking on one character who is politically incorrect, like a Norman Lear television show. I really did not find many Norman Lear shows funny.
