' ' ' Yeah! One of the few movies I've had laugh-out-loud moments in, for years.
Carolla really nails the mid-life crisis moments of a career gone off the rails, slowly, inexorably, unexplainably, or really never having one, as one turns the corner in life to realize it ain't gonna happen. Every man will recognise Carolla's character, sack-kicks, the humiliation and smile to themselves.
The smoking/credit card scene is worth the price of admission.
They don't make movies like this anymore—Although they just did, eh?—as it's just a decent story, with good character development.
John Candy used do flicks like this, that didn't do box-office boffo, but were just good little flicks.
I think this'll do a lot better in rotation, than it did in the theatres.
It's for a different audience than your action-oriented fan but well worth the time.
