I forced myself watching the DVD on this repeated remark: "This kind of movie makes you feel happy". It didn't work for me. It felt like witnessing a boring, stupid, childish and pointless mid life fraud with his gadgets, showing the endless possibilities of being senile. Infinite. I suffered for twenty minutes when this quote of Evelyn Waugh hit me and made me stop this painful experience: "I did not know it was possible to be so miserable and live but I am told that this is a common experience." Well, you can see it on screen, now. Nothing to compare to « Idiotern» 1998 Danish Dogme film, brilliant liberating life lesson, and Mike Judge 2006 "Idiocraty".
