I did not "enjoy" this movie*, but I recognized it immediately as really well done. Possibly genius. It seems to achieve exactly what it set out to do, against all odds. How did this get made? I'm so glad that it did get made.
I root hard for Will Forte to find success, because, damn, he's just so talented.
* it pushes too many of my buttons, it, uh, triggers me, watching people do terribly awkward things. that's on me, it's nothing the movie did "wrong".
I don't like this movie because I'm not the fan of "horrible person does horrible things - they're the good guy!" type of comedy. I do, however, understand the joke. Stallone's Cobra or Wilis' Joe Hollenback (last boy scout) could essentially be psychopaths in the real world. It's well done but it isn't "for me."

Stuart Saves His Family was so popular that they remade it only 3 years after the original!
The coffee shop scene is one of the funniest things I will ever see in my life.
Great write-up!
