Here's my problem. The film is fine. The plot is fine. Mel's character, the title, Tim, doesn't make sense (in the movie, at least). Tim is *supposed* to be mentally handicapped. This is not expressed in anyway. He just seems to be a polite, if naive, young man. Every trick and character-flaw they use in the film to make us believe he is handicapped can easily be explained away without the viewer being convinced, (ie, he does not understand death, mainly because no one explains it to him). It is for this reason, I adore the film. Plus, Mel is adorably young. On the whole, a great film to laugh at with friends. Not so good if taken seriously.
