Meeeeeeeeeeen ... what a show. I don't think I have seen a simpler concept that the one for this amazing show "Two and a Half Men". A man, his brother and his son, living together in Malibu, Ca. But not just any man, it's Charlie Sheen, and his brother is his old "Hot Shots" wingman. Wait a minute, Charlie Sheen? The same guy who we keep seeing in the cover of every magazine for domestic violence, drunken disorderly, solicitation, racketeering and embezzlement? Did I get those charges right? Does it even matter? The truth is that the man who always seem to play a character named "Charlie", has had some tough encounters with the long arm of the law (and I can most hear him making a sexual innuendo about that). In fact, I dare to say that every character he plays is a reflection of his true self in some way. Even his small cameo appearance in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" has him enjoying the company of the ladies as a form of living. His father seems to always play a politician or a cop, and his brother made "quack" cool, but still, I don't think either of them are as talked about as Mr. Charlie Sheen himself. Despite this, I dare to say that he is hated by every mother in America, or every wife, or woman who has ever left their husband while still pregnant. But despite this less than ideal example, he is still the genius for a show that I dare to say is based "tightly" about his life (I can even see his smirk right now). It's hard for me, and for a lot of people to admit how much we admire him based on what he has done, but let's face it, the man is a genius at screwing up (He wouldn't go as far as up). I think he has found a way to make a profit from his misfortunes. I have not found a better example of showing the world that "Hey ... I'm human, I make mistakes and move on, By the way, buy my product" than through the adventures of Charlie. On some level, I believe that many men wish to have his lifestyle, or at least his casual attitude about life. At the end of the day, he shows he's human, and that deep down he wishes to remove the tight grip this lifestyle has on him, and his wallet. But failure after failure, he still perseveres, and as one of the best comedy actors today. I doubt many people would still be in the spotlight after downfalls like the ones he has been through. But he still gets up, dusts himself off, takes a shot (or 20) and smiles right back at life as he sits in his Malibu porch, making money off of his own destructive behavior.
