Jason Woliner does a wonderful job directing the spectacular train wreck that is Paul Finkelman's life. You root for him, you laugh, you feel sorry for him. Some of the best scenes are Woliner's, and the actors, expressions when getting "input" from Finkelman. Some of the saddest moments are the candid shots when the uber-lonely Finkelman appears to be hitting on the actresses in the series. You really do feel bad for the way Finkelman gets manipulated. But, true to his credo, he turns lemons into lemonade by getting his story both published and filmed. Finkelman is Borat, Forrest Gump, and Rudy, all rolled into a oddly lovable guy who punches above his weight class in this uniquely weird series. Totally worth watching.
