There’s funny portions of this film, but this isn’t a comedy. It’s only funny in sad American ways, and really we should cry at the indignities of things instead of laughing at them.
If you ever want to show someone a movie to prove to them why Robin Williams was one of the greatest, this is it.
I love this movie. I try and watch it every fourth of July. Williams achieves such profound sadness. An under-rated gem.
