Everyone has problems.

The drama worked a lot better than the comedy some of which seemed forced and quirky for the sake of being quirky. The sudden shift in tone from comedy to serious drama was jarring to say the least, I wished they would just pick a side of the fence and stay there. All that being said most of the movie was amusing and everyone gives great performances especially Robert Downey Jr. playing Robert Downey Jr. which clearly involves him being a drunk. Even though some of the high school moment were naive and idealistic, the message was there and worked. Too bad the R rating prevents it from being seen by the target demographic.
