This film may look cheesy and full of silly characters however it's plot and key events weave together a film worth watching. Jack Black does a decent job in playing the foreign polka dancer.
One can say this film even has echoes of Goodfellas or The Wolf of Wall Street due to its similarities and the rise and fall of the main character. It does have the main character show many moments of weakness and cheat on his wife and family. It is unique in that the community that suffer are the elderly. Who knows perhaps with a little rewriting, directing and voice overs and a classic soundtrack this could have been a masterpiece.
Nevertheless it doesn't take itself too seriously hence the funny characters and ridiculous dialogue.
7/10
