How many of you guys have seen this movie? Now that I am in Alanon and know the 12 step jargon, I truly appreciate this movie's comedic genius. I have never liked the skit on SNL that much that I saw before the movie. But the movie focuses on Stuart's alcoholic sick family and how he relates, whereas the skit just makes fun of him.
If you haven't seen it, something tells me you'll love it.
