it draws on aspects of human nature.
Bernie is an unrepentant thief, he even empties the cash out of his attorney's purse right in his bail hearing.
a low life who rescues a planeload of people and no one believes him, who steals and fences the credit cards of one of the passengers he rescues.
a fraud who takes credit and is overwhelmed by guilt despite inspiring others and saving a young hospital patient with words of encouragement.
the list goes on. I had a really really good laugh when I first saw this when it came out and then picked it up at the DVD 2nd hand store for a measly 4 bucks.
it doesn't have the usual high drama and tug-the-heartstring bunk like other 'happy ending' fluff. its just packed with the day to day screw ups and story line based on the randomness of life and how we all try to deal with our own situations.
Geena Davis was really good as was Dustin Hoffman.
