I can't believe I waited this long to see this movie. My husband kept asking me if I thought he was as sexy as Brad Pitt and I couldn't quit say yes without cracking up. I have very little to criticize about this flick, except I know my mother would hate it. I liked it's comments on crappy low pay jobs and mindless life sucking jobs and soul-killing ethic suspect jobs related to insurance...who said "you expect me to hand over my brain for your use for the entire day and expect me to think it will be returned in an unmutilated condition!?"? Oh yeah it was Utah Phillips. I think this movie will always be relevant and gripping and thought inducing...we are all so tied to out jobs and things and vehicles etc. etc. etc....and for so many of us these ties are not a good thing and they stop us from seeing beyond out own little bubbles. Anyway "self improvement is masturbation" is a good line, although it makes masturbation look bad. As if any of us would have got through our early years without it. But I agree with the point. I work in a bookstore, and the richer the person seems, the more likely they are to buy a self improvement book. (Not a self help book though! Self improoovment.) anyway watch it, and if you've seen it watch it again. Just not with your mom.
