The Brother-in-Law of Inventions
25 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is not very believable. A man markets a product that can mutilate people if it is not used correctly. When you see what a man has to do to injure himself with it, Hmm, hard to imagine. After a few people mutilated themselves, you might assume that the news would get around (but, apparently it doesn't).

The president of the company goes to jail (for Gross Negligence, not a crime in any state I know), and gets a parole after 8 years. He loses every nickel of his 100s of Millions in court judgments (apparently, he never had the wherewithal to hire a bankruptcy attorney, which would have left him something). No one else is affected at all (including his fellow workers, one of whom is a billionaire because of the ex-president). His wife gets to keep $362 Million (what US state is she living in, where that could happen?).

Now, 8 years later, his now-ex-wife has re-married, AND spent her entire $362 Million (with nothing to show for it). OK. His ex and his daughter won't give him even a few minutes of conversation, just belittle him and tell him to leave.

Anyway, the plot flounders around with weird stories about people in his new life, including, a woman who claims to be a lesbian, but just broke up with a boyfriend, and has the hots for the ex-president, and is pretty angry when he spurns her sexual advances.

The finale is after he starts marketing his new million-dollar product. So, a man markets many infomercial-quality products, goes to jail, and ends marketing a new infomercial-quality product. I was hoping that he would have changed his attitude during the movie.
