At first I thought, poor guy, what else can possibly go wrong in your life, then it got worse. And they did it in a style that made me laugh. But, the more times I watched it, the more I saw the true meaning of a loving relationship, and the child's responsibility to take care of the parents. This movie is timeless and should be a classic, mostly for the children that find themselves faced with a parent that loses touch, but can still play and laugh and be loved. When your the child in this position, anything to make you look at the situation in a smiling light is very important. It needs to be shown again and again and again. I always need a good laugh.
