Well...

This film knows the right buttons to push and is poignant when it needs to be, but it is too self serving and narcissistic (much like the evident traits of its subject) to reach people the way it was obviously intended to. There are some thought provoking moments, but the segments that are staged like a theater production show amateurish writing, performance, and a man who clearly is only concerned with himself and his own experiences, despite efforts to come off otherwise. If you've ever heard Jeff Key speak in public, this film cannot be watched and taken 100% seriously. Unless you are totally buying everything he is saying and trying to convey (and probably only because you want to or already love these kind of 'poor me- post war stories')borders on the unintentionally comical as a near buffoonish exploit.
