Life-deciding questions are being investigated.

That movie was on cable recently.  I watched it except for the first part.  Now, however, I see what I missed:  the proposal rejection.  At first, you think the movie is mostly going to be about humor.  The guy really does have quite a sense of humor and is a comedian, of course.  But about halfway through it, you realize he is either very serious or maybe just a very good actor.  Because after a while it does seem he is desperate to find a solution to his problem.  The movie has its moments and I'm sure there are people who liked it better than I did.  But I wouldn't recommend it.  Ultimately, in my opinion, it just turns out to be an exercise in futility on the guy's part.  I won't give anymore away in case someone does want to watch it.  Frankly, though, I wish I hadn't wasted my time on it.  I just ended up feeling sorry for the guy more than anything else.  Of course, maybe the movie helped his career.  Like I said, he really is funny, but the subject matter was just too grim for him on a personal level for him to be as witty as he probably could be.
