Every Line of Dialogue Is Like This. So, so bad.

When you watch Phillips's old comedies, he struggles with pace and transition because he just tends to throw shit in that he thinks is funny. A lot of this feels thrown together too.

But really it could've all worked with sharper dialogue. The dialogue is sooooo rough.

Also, it's a movie where the rich are bad, and the world recognizes the rich are bad, but the protagonist adamantly refuses to join the world on this. He keeps saying he's apolitical. Why would Phillips build up to a "fuck the system" vibe... only to both-sides it at the end? So embarrassing.
