While the couple on screen is beautifully funny, this movie is dealing with a very real and serious fact of our time: the breakage of American dream for more and more middle class Americans.
For the first time, as a great actor, Jim Carry showed us his strong humanitarian concern, his strong sense of social fairness. He reminds us of another great artist from not that long ago: Charlie Chaplin, they both shared their teary eyed smile with us.
This movie makes one ponder: Is making money the sole purpose of our journey of life? Once the greedy bunch grabbed all the resources from the society and written and re-written all the rules of the game, what can we ordinary people do to survive?
On purpose or by accident, this movie has pointed to us the elephant in the room, and that's partially why, I think, most of the movie critics in an almost united voice to down-grade this movie -- they are either incapable or unwilling to praise a brave movie which brings us the bad news or a load wake up call.
