Although there's a romantic aspect, and although there are some laughs, this is really a drama. This poor schmuck is taken advantage of as he gets 15 minutes of fame he never asked for. He doesn't have much to begin with, and now he's lost even that. It's pretty depressing, to be honest! But it's a good story.

Sorry, but Ed Helms could not pull this role off. This was a role made for Ben Stiller.
Ben Stiller can make a character angry at the world, yet still somehow likeable. Not so with Ed Helms work here.
The script was bad, at times really, really bad. Not sure if the writers were indulging in too many edibles when they wrote this, but the timing of the jokes was off. (write high, test material straight!)Scenes that were supposed to be humorous often ended up being awkward and over done. Like when a comedian tells a joke that bombs, and you watch and cringe as they desperately try to squeeze a laugh out of something that didn't work. At a certain point, leave it. Continuing to try to make an unfunny scene funny just makes it embarrassing. (ie: scene when mom shows up at talk show). With a little work to the script, Ben Stiller could have pulled that scene off.I can see why this movie got made, and had the script been given more attention, and the lead recast, it would have been a good movie.

This movie will not change your life and it's not looking to do that. It seems like a relatively low budget indie film that has some heart and the balls to be a little different.Definitely worth a view as the charm will carry this movie over its minor defects.
