Missed Opportunity

Warning: Spoilers
This could have been good, but .... There are other films in this vein: "The Wedding Crashers", a Will Smith film and a french one whose name eludes me. The protagonist runs a business that provides alibis with himself avoiding entanglements with women. You know what is going to happen as the plot is a cliche: a part of the way through the film he falls for a girl, his business is revealed, it all crashes down and he debases himself for the girl. The film also has a mean spirit in terms of people getting hurt for a laugh: a run-away golf cart hits a trampoline displacing it sideways. The man jumping on it splats himself onto the ground - not funny same golf cart careers towards a sand castle, but collides with the boy building it instead - not funny same boy is hit in the face with a stone from some casual stone skipping on water. The protagonists slink away a child conceived out of wedlock, as a consequence of the chief protagonist, is unceremoniously dumped outside an orphanage a pair of testicles is shown hanging below a park bench (itself distasteful) is attacked by a feral cat (extreme variation of kick in the groin cliche)
