I like how movies can sometimes parallel my own life: this movie is about a head of family compelled to change his daily life to be rich while from this week, I try also to change my bad habits to gain more audition. So as the expected addiction movies, we have the necessary up and down moments of rehabilitation but strangely, this plot comes late in the movie: before that, we have his fun (loose) life with friends exposed and the wedding of his prude daughter played by Jenny. In a whole, the movie is a bit disjointed but what a fun it is! I discover this Rodney with Caddyshack in which he was really crazy and here, he repeats the same flair for fun: it's cool to have a comedy man with such physical presence and sharp humor because there are no more like them in today American movies! He is a sort of Al Bundy on screen with the difference that his family is much more educated and serious and each family member has something (funny) to do. At last, the movie has a great nostalgic value: we see a lot of talented names in their young (Jenny, great Joe Pesci, slim Jeffrey Jones) and this 80s America was indeed a cool place to live! So you got working family + life in NYC borough + laughs all along the movie so I can't imagine how you could be disappointed ???
