America is founded on such principles as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, right? Well, you just got to be careful that you don’t abuse your liberty and that your pursuit of happiness doesn’t affect your life. For George Simmons (Adam Sandler), fame and fortune took him to a world where he lived friendless, detached, and lonely. He pursued his happiness and became a larger than life superstar but it resulted in his alienation from life. His recent diagnosis was the wake up call for him to realize just how empty his life really was. Fame, fortune, and possessions will not make you happy in the long run because they are unfulfilling. This dramatic turn of events is even more dramatic when dealing with a person who spent his life making people laugh. It is painful to see a depressed comedian.
