BIGGEST problem - Sherman's fall from grace

Hanks nails that scene where the cops first come to talk to him. That's my favorite scene. It just goes to show that Sherman McCoy is not a survivor or a "Master of the Universe". He just managed to slip into the old boys network and he is pretty much useless at anything else life throws at him when he gets out of his cloistered world.

I used to do taxes for Wall Street specialists. They are the guys who sit in the trading boothes on the floor. They all made between 1.5 million and 2 million a year and pretty much pissed it all away. It was interesting in the book how McCoy talked about how poor he was. The way his mortgage and his wifes extravagent spending ate up his commissions pretty quickly.

For the most part the movie stunk though.

Could not agree more. I thought that I would never say that I had just seen the most horrible film ever made. This was soooooo far from the sensibility of the book, and I have never seen such great actors performing.......uh.....or was it the directing....uh....or was it the screenplay.....or...?
