Review of Melvin and Howard (1980) by Dave R — 14 Sep 2010

An enjoyable film that's based on a true story. it's about a guy -melvin - who's optimistic and hard working but can't get ahead in life. that, however, doesn't stop him from trying to get his piece of the pie. but the constant attempts to live beyond his means causes problems with his marriage. he goes from job to job and relationship to relationship. eventually a chance meeting he had years back seems as though it may bring him his dreams of economic independence...

It's not a fast paced film or overly dramatic one but it's a nice sort of character study.
