Review - Starting Over

It's supposed to be the funny story about a man attempting to cope during the sexual revolution of the 1970s. It's really about self-indulgent creep who is never happy and refuses to take responsibility for his own disillusionment. I didn't like the character and can't recall a single passage I thought was funny.
