It isn't a comedy if you have a conscience
I watched the entire thing which is unusual for me. Yet, I'm unsettled. I can't recommend it. There's no happy ending. As a matter of fact, it is made fairly clear that the financial illiteracy and poor planning upon which all actions in the film center will continue. So sad.

I have this movie memorized
I love this movie. I first saw this movie close to 20 years ago, and I've seen it probably 20 times since. Before streaming, I would buy DVD copies to send to all my friends. The social commentary is important, and the movie is absolutely hilarious as well. It's an Academy Award-winning short film, and it's much deserved.That being said, I can see it may not be for every audience. It's not a "Hollywood" kind of film. If you think "The Accountant" with Ben Affleck (NOT an Academy Award winner) was a good movie, you're probably not going to enjoy this film. This film is not a "feel-good" comedy, it's trying to point out the impact of industrialization and large corporations on society as a whole, and on the independence and identity of the individual. The point is not that the viewer thinks it's funny that it's suggested that he kills his wife and dog, the point is to what extent does a person have to go in order to maintain the lifestyle sold to us by the global corporate machine.But I could be wrong about all that. There's always a 3-5% margin of error....
