WarpedRecord says > this film was pointless
You may not have gotten it but that doesn't mean there was no point. I found it to be an entertaining movie. What makes it interesting are the issues presented for consideration. I often wonder how some people drive their lives into a ditch and never realizing they're the ones who did it.
Watching this movie was a revelation. The main character, Dave, is just such a person. He's a fairly nice guy who has a lot of potential and people in his life who are willing and able to help him. But he's carrying around anger from his past, he associates with a lot of the wrong people; people who are basically losers who have nothing going for them and who can only drag him down to their level; and he gives in easily to impulses.
He's at a crossroads but doesn't realize his own behavior and choices are slamming the door shut on the kind of life he wants and could have. I think the movie is a harsh reality check. People are people and we're all equal as human beings but it would be a mistake to think that we're all on the same level. There are plenty of people who 'poison the punch.' The movie illustrates that point really well. It's not as if all the bad influences were on one side. Ginny and Bama were certainly negative influences on Dave but both Agnes, Frank, and Frank's secretary did things to negatively influence others too.
