This man owns a two story home in the Chicago suburbs with an attic and a basement. The conflict of the story is how he won't be able to add a pool to this palace. He lusts after some random girl at the mall when Beverly DiAngelo is right there.
I will never relate to this man.
I just assume that is what middle class life looked like back then.
When I was a kid, I thought people who lived like that were just on TV. Middle class existence was as relevant to my experience as robot maids and talking cars.
Honestly I'm still a little suspicious. Hollywood contrivances are a history of how we think of ourselves, not of how we are.
