	Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Stuart Smalley is a caring nurturer, a member of several twelve-step programs, but not a licensed therapist.
		Stuart himself grew up with a dysfunctional family.
		His father was "a big stinking drunk" who called chubby Stuart, "a waste of space." Stuart's mom is "a total loon and in complete denial about Dad's drinking," while his brother is a dope addict.

	Stuart Smalley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stuart is a member of many (sometimes fictional) twelve-step groups, including Overeaters Anonymous, Children of Alcoholic Parents Anonymous, and Children of Rageaholic Parents Anonymous.
		It is frequently hinted that Stuart may be gay, but his sexual orientation is never clearly stated in the sketches, movie, or novel.
		One character who becomes a romantic interest for Stuart in the novel appears in the movie, where the character is played by a man — however, in the movie, nothing indicates that the two characters ever meet outside the courtroom, let alone develop romantic interest in each other.

	‘Stuart Saves His Family’ (PG-13)
		And so, early on in "Stuart Saves His Family," the sad new comedy based on the late-night TV character, when this basket case extraordinaire learns that his show has been dumped, there is every reason to expect the worst.
		Stuart is the newest super un-hero of the '90s, the over-eating son of an alcoholic Everyman who by some miracle pulls off the impossible and survives his own childhood.
		Stuart is a disarming figure—likable in small doses, but fragile and not particularly adaptable.

		Stuart fled as soon as he could to Chicago, where he was soon a member of four 12-step programs.
		The Stuart segments have been some of the funniest moments in the recent checkered history of "SNL," but I wondered, going in to see the movie, whether his sketches could be stretched out to feature length.
		"Stuart Saves His Family" is a genuine surprise: A movie as funny as the "SNL" stuff, and yet with convincing characters, a compelling story and a sunny, sweet sincerity shining down on the humor.

	Stomp Tokyo Review - Stuart Saves His Family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Smalley (Al Franken, who created Stuart and also wrote the screenplay) works as a waiter and has his own public access television show, the aforementioned Daily Affirmation.
		Stuart's dysfunction and family life are far too real for a character out of SNL, and people expecting a madcap comedy won't be rewarded.
		Most of Stuart's show segments are worth watching as well, which shouldn't be surprising as they are the essential material upon which the Smalley character was based in the first place.

	Paging Stuart Smalley, Sojourners Magazine/March-April 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Smalley was an endlessly nattering member of every self-help support group in the book, from Al-Anon and Adult Children of Alcoholics to Overeaters Anonymous.
		Smalley could tell the president that someone who knows he's been under investigation for four years, who is facing a very public sexual harassment lawsuit, and who still can't keep himself from dallying with an intern, has a disease.
		He could point out that, for such a person, the only path back to sanity is a confession of powerlessness, followed by surrender of the disease to a Higher Power, and submission to a program of recovery and accountability.

		Stuart's decision at this point is one of the many interesting things about his character.
		A flashback when Stuart's father confronted a neighbor being mean to Stuart makes us smile, not only because it's amusing, but we smile because we can identify it with something similar in our own lives.
		Another flashback, where Stuart's brother and father mock his entering a competition gets laughs from their comments, but also makes us remember a time when we were let down by our family.

	Smalley Watch? - MOOREWATCH - Watching Michael Moore's every move (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Stuart Smalley is one of the architects of the new definition of “lying.” Most sane people understand that a lie involves a deliberate deception.
		Smalley’s new definition is “an error or misstatement is a lie.” Prime example is his whole rant on O’Reilly and the Peabody/Polk award.
		Smalley is like a little kid who learned a new word but has no nuance about using it: he lied, he lied, he lied, he lied, etc. The far left movement has adopted this approach.

	Doggone it, people will love latest SNL spinoff
		Stuart's life, like his cable-TV show, is populated chiefly by grown children from dysfunctional families: co-dependents, rage-aholics, overeaters, debtors, adult children of alcoholics - "You know," Stu says, "my people." The movie chronicles its characters' attempts to overcome their past and to escape from their respective demons.
		No matter what Stuart tries in order to "save" his family, his efforts always fail so that he is left staring into his trademark mirror and attempting to cure himself.
		Stuart's father, always threatening physical violence (and actually following through on it), is even more vocal in his condemnation of his son.

	Review: Stuart Saves His Family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Stuart isn't necessarily a Forrest clone, but he's a socially-challenged individual who overcomes great adversity to attain fame and prosperity.
		Since each member of Stuart's family is initially introduced as a stereotypical caricature, it's difficult to accept any of them in a situation where they're intended to be taken seriously.
		Like Forrest Gump, Stuart Smalley has his arsenal of pithy sayings, including "It's easier to put on slippers than to carpet the entire world." Such comments seek to put a lighter spin on a bleak topic, but they're offered up too late.

	Doggone It, Stuart, You're Just Not Good Enough
		This is of interest for two reasons: 1) for the way the film handles Stuart's gayness (not at all); and 2) for the way, all the same (and however superficially), it handles something you never see in movies: The urbanized gay son returns home to visit his conventional small-town family.
		The occasion for the visit in ``Stuart'' is the funeral of an aunt, but no sooner is Stuart there than he's plunged into a family drama over the burial plot and will.
		If this were film making by the book, Stuart would at first be scorned by his family; then he'd do something heroic to gain their trust; and ultimately he would solve all their problems.

	The Memphis Flyer: Video - September 4, 1997
		Stuart Saves His Family (1995, Directed by Harold Ramis) -- Movies based on Saturday Night Live comedy sketches are not exactly known for their ability to amuse or entertain.
		Stuart Saves His Family is a pleasing exception to the dreadful rule.
		(Though Stuart, always sporting an atrocious sweater and ridiculous grin, has an appearance that begs for laughter before the lines leave his mouth.) While his family never ceases to amuse, the film also features some heavier scenes that truly address some of the problems that are so frequently joked about in the movie.

		Eventually Stuart's show is canceled, and he must face unemployment with the help of his various 12-step sponsors.

		While he was struggling to lose 130 pounds in Overeaters Anonymous, poor Stuart Smalley couldn't bring himself to buy a new belt for his wildly fluctuating waistline.
		With his puffed-up hair, boyish sweater and pinkie rings, Stuart is a stumbling and painfully sensitive caricature of the people who participate in 12-step programs to overcome alcoholism, drug addiction, co-dependency and other disorders.
		The Stuart character, in his second season, has developed two phrases that are catching on with both recovery groups and the public.

		The brilliance of Franken's Stuart Smalley is that, while personifying the self-absorbed earnestness of New Age feel-goodism, underneath the silliness is a real understanding of and compassion toward the human condition, and the desparation that comes from the urgent longing to escape from the pain so many of us carry around from childhood.
		Smalley is an exaggerated version of the millions upon millions of us looking for answers and freedom.
		In sum: Franken is a thoughtful, well-researched, and instictively hysterical comic who tapped a niche at a certain perfect moment in history (the rise of the self-help era) - and came up with a winner.
