This is suppose to be a comedy?

"Darryl" (Michael Caton) is a kindhearted tow-truck driver who loves his life, family, champion greyhounds and his home that is just outside a busy airport, right under the flight paths of the airliners.
One day, "Darryl" and his neighbors get a letter saying that they must move because the airport wants to expand. "Darryl" does not like this, and works his way through the system to try to save his home.
This has to be the least funny movie I have seen in a real long time. I sat in front of my television, and not once did I laugh at this film. I probably saw two spots where they attempted a joke, but the rest of the jokes fell flat on their face.
It is painfully obvious that the movie is low budget. The wardrobes appeared to be outdated by about 10 years, and the cameras didn't move around the set much possibly because they were not full rooms like on some television programs.
The acting in this movie is not good at all. None of the performers stand out in this film, with a slight exception of Caton. There is also extremely little character development.
I didn't even find the soundtrack memorable. I think there was one song I recognized, but everything about this movie is very forgettable.
I think the movie would have worked if it was a "Little man vs. Big corporation" drama. However, what we get is a poor attempt at a comedy.
I noticed that the rest of the reviewers of this movie (on the website I originally posted this on) either really liked or loved it. I on the other hand must say don't even get this one if you see it on the shelves at your local library.
