...things that are calculated to be funny, and usually are. However, O'Keefe knows what parts to look for in his stereotype, and he telegraphs those parts so well that any lameness is overlooked. In one scene, Zoole throws vegetables (yes, vegetables) out of the window after his fleeing ex-girlfriend, shouting derogations that make up part of his terrific repertoire of one-liners. He then stops, turns away from the window, dejected, and says, "Life is a shit sandwich, and every day you take another bite." There are no bad parts, only bad actors. O'Keefe is a good...

...cathartic antidote to cool yuppie relationship-speak, brazen in their sheer excess. "I'm not worried about hell," he says, " 'cause I was ((exploding into a shout)) married for two f years! Hell would be like Club Med!" A stint at the piano for a song to his ex-girlfriend turns into a string of obscenities ending with "I want my records back!"

Unlucky on my roadtrips, I was forced to endure the fact that my roommates had no problems at all with women. My bunkmate who so graciously occupied the couch for the five nights my ex-girlfriend visited paid back the favor with hefty interest. He started to date a woman seriously in late October, and it still goes on strong after almost three years. But the price was my intimate relationship with the couch. I really didn't mind sleeping on the couch two or three times a week, but many times I would come back to my room late...
