This is the dullest conservation in movie history- Joe's boss in the beginning talking to someone on the phone:

"I know he can get the job, but can he do the job....Harry, yeah....
Harry, but can he do the job?....I know he can get the job, but can
he do the job?, but can he do the job? I know he can get the job, but
can he do the job? ....I'm not arguing with you....I'm not arguing
that with you....I'm not arguing that with you, Harry....Harry....
Harry....Yeah, but can he do the job?....I know he can get the job, but
can he do the job?, but can he do the job?....I'm not arguing that with
you....Who said that?....I didn't say that, If I said that, I would
have been wrong....Maybe....Maybe....I'm not arguing that with you....
Yeah, Harry....I know he can get the job, but can he do the job?...."

Yes, Yes- I'm glad someone agrees with me.

This was one funny film!

Hilarious scene they way he keeps repeating himself! I wonder what the writer was trying to get across on this front? Life is redundant?

Good point!

I think the writer was trying to say that Joe's boss was redundant besides being very very boring!

It was hilarious!

The highlight of a very uneven film, no question.

The highlight was Joe's shopping trip preparing for the voyage, where his chauffeur advised him on how to buy clothes and the luggage guy advised him on the importance of the right travel bags.
