Meat Loaf is a decent actor with real comedy timing. There's an irony in his eager-to-please character in that he can fix anything except his own failing romance. However, for a comedy the script is light on jokes, unless you consider being uncomplimentary to Texans funny.
I was almost ready to write it off as little more than rock star cameos masquerading as a film, but the second half changed all that. It found the heart of the characters and put them onscreen for all to see.
I'm maybe being overly-forgiving but I feel that it salvaged the throwaway parts and made them into something memorable. It seemed to embody Travis' motto that "everything works if you let it".
