I enjoyed reading his story -- not the actual sequence of events obviously, but in the telling. It bears some similarities to "The Jerk" and "Life Stinks" but it could be a worthwhile movie (hope I didn't jinx it.)

Some things I might have done differently --

1) Left LA for someplace cheaper once I decided to take the sabbatical.

2) Not have eight children. Four would have been plenty.

As others have pointed out, most who flock to LA to work in entertainment leave without much to show for it except a healthy dose of cynicism.
