Title: Vulgar,Foul, Rude and Wonderful
Review: Billy Bob Thorton is absolutely fantastic in this role. He has brilliantly portrayed a man who has hit bottom and kept falling. Every other word out of his mouth is an expletive. If there was any real justice in the world, he would have been nominated for an academy award. One can honestly state that this film is spectacularly and universally offensive. I loved every minute. I have rarely laughed so much and so hard at any other comedy.But what redeems this film is Thorton's character's struggle with his deeply suppressed feelings of compassion and the desire to behave honorably. That, combined with the brilliant performances by Bernie Williams ( a personal favorite ) the late, and much lamented John Ritter, the lovely Lauren Graham, Tony Cox and the always hilarious Cloris Leachman, make this film a real gem.Still, let there be no misunderstanding, this is an adult comedy. If you don't find that off putting, buy this DVD, and enjoy!
