A Man's Job (2007)
7/10
There is more to this man's job
4 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This man's job is even more burdensome as it may appear. It extends beyond giving up a man's pride and dealing with a pool of unattractive and unconventional clientele. It takes him even more to protect his loved one, to an extent that he accepts a child not of his own, conceals his anger towards a man who sleeps with and impregnates his wife, hides his worries of losing his job and changing his "career" from his wife to protect her from aggravated depression. This is the courage and conviction of a person who sacrifices himself to protect and please his loved one. A hilarious and entertaining film which is romantic at its heart, with a bleak ending showing the harsh reality that well-meaning sacrifice is not always reciprocated and the poor often gets poorer. Although the ending shoot in the ambulance is sweet, what happens to the family afterwards is probably less so.
