Baxter's lifestyle is supported by good ol' Uncle Sam in the form of the Department of Labor. Both are ace manipulators and apparent members of the cult of the Lost College Graduate. They spend the majority of their time drinking beer in a neighborhood bar and exchanging life philosophies with each other and a caustic bartender. The majority of the comedy takes place at this bar, and this is where Nada's space really works. The dark, close atmosphere, combined with Rob Volk's excellent lighting makes the simple set come to life .
Problem is, they have no story.
They have been right where they were seven years ago, and find very little common ground with Denise. Feeling insecure, Baxter tries to dig up some of Denise's unsavory high school reputation, but, ultimately, although it does make her feel bad, it doesn't help. He is still stuck, and the real problemis he just isn't that motivated to be any different than he is. In this idea lies the little twist of pain that lies at the heart of all true comedy, and the moment where St. Rosita lives up to the potential that it shows throughout. I would never forgive myself if I didn't mention the outstandingly funny scene between Baxter and his case worker, Rosita, at the unemployment office.
