Deadbeat boyfriend

So, I just saw this movie and thought it was pretty bad. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Not as bad as "The New World", but quite bad still.

Anyways, I'm wondering, was I supposed to feel bad for Karly's
deadbeat boyfriend? I mean the lazy ass just wanted to sit around and drink beer and play basketball with his wigger friends and you are supposed to feel sorry for him because Karly is out working and bringing money&food to the table.

Also, this movie is one of those comedies where there isn't anything funny, so I wouldn't even call it a comedy... Probably a "drama" would be more accurate.

Her boyfriend was independently wealthy.

He was building a house. That's hardly being a deadbeat.
