I feel like I watched two different films here: The first half of the film was funny, interesting, pacey and I really enjoyed it.
The second half of the film was the antithesis of all the above.
Basically our protagonist (admittedly flawed and in need of some change) attempts to fight back against things he doesn't believe in... an undeserving, talentless boss who fires people for simply being 'old', a fraud school boss who blackmails and embezzles money, a bunch of horrid side characters that range from selfish to psychotic... these people are the villains... yet our guy ends up apologising and bending to what they want!
It left me with a confused feeling of 'wait a minute, I'm sure they were the bad guys but somehow they still beat down our main character, this sucks'.
Just a convoluted mess in the second half of the film, but worth watching for the sheer fun of the first half.
