slow and so American

Rating: 2/10 (7 June 2007)

I really went into this movie thinking I would like it, but oh my, it's so slow, the jokes are very, very bad (except for one), and Gardners wife is totally unconvincing.
We ended up watching the movie at 2 times the normal speed with subtitles.. that's about the speed it should have had... and we were still bored ! Also, the moral.. pff.. We've all heard it 50 times before: if you work hard, you too can be... blah blah. It sounded like a cheap book about how to turn you life around and make a success out of yourself.
The movie gives you the feeling you can only be happy if you're rich. All the rich people are smiling, friendly, look good, etc. It seems like money is all that counts on this planet.
And why does he have to run through half of the movie! Very annoying.
Not worth your time.
