Is this movie for real? Are we supposed to believe that that a broken down, chronic alcoholic, who is disheveled, gets into fights, never bathes, never has money, and does not work, is a gifted writer who could sell a story to a publisher, who just so happens to be a beautiful rich woman, and further that this wreck of a man is able to have sex not just with one but with TWO attractive women who are willing to fight over him? NO WAY!!!!! This scenario is so fantastically ludicrous that it borders on being science fiction. Indeed, the implausibility of this movie is so profound that it can't be placed in any specific genre. The movie has funny, witty lines, but it's not a comedy. The movie has its dramatic moments, but it's not a drama (the movie is too laughable), the movie has a detective in it, but it's not a mystery; the movie portrays the problems relating to alcoholism, but it's not a documentary. So, what kind of movie is this movie? It's a movie with a message: that if you are a guy who drinks, smokes, doesn't work, doesn't bathe, and lives in the flophouse, women will find you attractive.
