They're completely embarrassing as well, which is what makes them work as well as they do.

I also remember him addressing an all black audience, alienating them, and then saying to them, "You don't like what I'm saying? What are you going to do: vote for a Republican? I don't think so."<br /><br />My biggest problem with the film is what you mentioned about the sheer improbability of the coincidences.<br /><br />I remember laughing at this, and also having an "oh!" reaction to some of the things coming out of his mouth (love the illustration for the poster for this, by the way), but I've never sought it out to watch it again. And it's not the kind of movie that a cable channel would tend to run.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-52846705777499419772016-01-13T10:21:04.557-06:002016-01-13T10:21:04.557-06:00My first degree is in English lit.
