Well, everyone seems to be in agreement on this one, and I'll just say "You're right". Great start, but the 2nd half was a letdown. My problem with Jerome was the way his character was written. The actions he takes (especially appropriating Broadbent's art as his own, which is where the film lost me for good) don't jive with the way the character is set up.

I would certainly recommend that anyone who's enjoyed Zwigoff's films in the past check this one out, but lower your expectations a bit.
