Jack, what's in the journal?
Jack Giamoro: Information that directly contradicts our testimony at the competition trial. As well as some personal stuff, my feelings about the size of my dick, stuff like that.

A movie about thinking about yourself? How exhilarating for the viewer. Well its not only about that. After all, John Cleese is also in the movie. However his role is more limited compared to Affleck. And that isn't always a good thing.
Anyway, Affleck starts attending a class to see who he really is. And while he is there, all sorts of wild things start happening. A woman gains his class notes and tries to blackmail him. He discovers his wife has been cheating on him, but is wanting to stay with him, and he is fighting a legal case to keep his company afloat. And oh yeah, he was robbed.
Despite all the craziness, Ben tries to stay sane. Dad is going crazy and talking to fish, and John Cleese wants something written down for class. It all ends somewhat on a good note and thats all I can really give it.
Not Affleck's best performance, but what can you get anyway? "C+"
