Amongst all the films i've watched, only few have really left me thinking about them even after im done watching , but i have to say this one sure did. When watched this film may be seen as a comedic drama about two friends and things that happen to them. But as I see it it has more to offer than that.
Besides the great (despite simple) cinematography that really comes to be in the bartending scenes, the story is intriguing following the young Brian Flanagan through his path trying to become a millionare. But in this path he finds both love and fullfilment with what he is currently employed. On the other side we have Dough Coughlin, who wants the exact same thing, but actually gets it.
The true colors of this movie shows with Dough's storyline, because he is not happy. He is depressed. He got everything he desired and then realized that he still wasn't happy. It may be an overdone topic but the messege is that money did not brong Dough happiness, life fulfilment is what give's us humans happines and that's what Flanagan achieves.
The movie is fun, really entertaing and has a serius undertone. (and great ost)
