Dumb story that doesn't make any sense, annoying characters.

I'm still waiting for the comedy, that resumes this movie. There's absolutely nothing funny about Spivak or maybe I just didn't get the humor, that's also a possibility but I highly doubt it. Spivak is an ugly negative person played by Michael Bacall. He's surrounded by positive people that apparently don't see how ugly and negative he is, and that was for me the thing I hated the most about this movie. You're not going to fall in love with a person like that, that just doesn't make any sense and for that alone this movie is just dumb. Spivak having pity sex with a goodlooking woman, Spivak dating a beautiful Laker girl, they apparently both fall for his charms, whilst he's the most annoying and petulant character possible, it's just too ridiculous for words. The acting isn't that bad though, the story is. Don't read the positive reviews, to me they're fake.
