Hardly Working

Reviews
For me, this is one of the more irritating films I've watched this year - and there have been a few. So, if that was your goal - well done!
A guy with everything in life handed to him on plate, loses that, is forced to try and get a job and then gets everything (& more) handed back to him. Coming-of-age really needs to have some character growth and change and there's really none of that here. Our lead goes through a phase of having to "grow up" and reflect but what does he learn by the end of it? Good things come to those who wait?
Mostly shot in the one room with maybe one exterior shot it's a bit bland too. This genre lends itself to characters going on a literal journey so even a few scenes of the guy pounding the pavement in search of work would have added some variety.
I think you had the spark of an idea here that could have worked but the stakes just weren't that great nor the comedy that funny.
