there be laugh in this film and that be for sure . michael keaton be a talent and he use to be funny ( before he decide he be a serious actor ) . however and what bother me so much about this film and be how unlikable practically all of the character be . other than the main two lead and everybody be a jerk . i mean and these small town loser be about as uncouth a you can get . you just watch and think and man and these loser should be unemployed . moreover and the american factory worker be portray a a lazy and ungrateful slob . it make me wonder if this film be make by japanese nationalist . oh sure and in the end they all come together a one and but i just do not enjoy the trip to get there .
