This movie proves it's better to be dis-honest and morally bankrupt

In real life if you play by the rules, people just treat you like crap. You go to work because you're told it's respectable and the right thing to do yet you're boss treats you like you're nothing and you can't argue or punch him because you will be fired or even arrested. Yet people can lie,cheat and steal their way through life and get plenty of rewards and not have to put up with crap from anyone else. It's wrong it is this way but that is the world we live in. This move reminds me so much of me and my girlfriend.

I agree with you. Since the Enron bankruptcy, and the corresponding government cover-up, North America and it's half of the world are living in a spiral of financial failures - for which the media circus invent new words, so that distracted people who watch silly film comedies do not understand what's up.

As a financial expert, my reading of this film is that it is an early 21st century drama.

If you listen carefully to the dialogue, up to the last joke about the guy who's doing great because he's working for Enron, the film also explains in a realistic manner how the present world is based on speculation, fraud and off-shore banking - that is, legalized fraud at the level of independent States, and UNO.

Remember that what you can get from the State Prosecutor is being INDICTED (that endlessly shouted word by Dick Harris when he gets the "news" live on TV) - for something you did not do, and that you had never heard of...
