    I couldn't disagree more.  I thought that "The Survivors" was very
funny, not as good as "Meaning of Life" of course, but still very
enjoyable.  Robin William's nervous breakdown is very realistic,
according to an anonymous friend who's had one, the characters are
believable and well-portrayed, and the jokes are mostly well-timed and
humorous.

    My only two real objections are (1) Walter Matthau wasn't used
enough in the latter part of the film (2) some of the jokes were very
predictable.  Neither of these were serious problems, though.
