Like any average Joe, he’s constantly screwing up with his kids and wife, but these mistakes are all the more pathetic in light of his glib on-camera persona. Though the depressive aspect of Cage’s character risks monotony, Steve Conrad’s script puts him through a variety of humiliating encounters that bring out the more narcissistic and violent sides of Spritz’s madness.
