Anyone else like this movie? It is on right now and I am watching it for something like the hundreth time.


SPOILERS

What's not to like? Arrogant rich guy cheats on his pretty young wife, but blames her because they aren't having sex. He proceeds to ridicule everyone including his cab driver brother. In the end, the wife leaves him for some nice chubby guy. the brother ends up happy, his mistress sticks to her guy and the rich prick is left to wonder what he did wrong. Talk about a metaphor for real life. I can't tell you how many people I know who act selfish, talk down to people and then blame everyoen else for their problems. Then they wonder what went wrong.

Plus Tom Petty did the soundtrack

    I love when the dad says they should settle it in the ring and the one brother (the one who isn't an asshole) takes the other one out with one punch.

    Plus, the dad is played by John Mahoney (the dad from Frasier) and he is always good, even if Frasier wasn't always.
