Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stuart Saves His Family is a 1995 Dramedy based on the Saturday Night Live character Stuart Smalley and his book I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!: Daily Affirmations. The film was written by Smalley's creator Al Franken and directed by Harold Ramis, fresh off directing Groundhog Day. Ramis approached Franken about doing a film adaptation based on the book Franken had published in his Smalley persona.The film is an Adaptation Expansion of the sketch which ran eighteen times on SNL, taking a look at how Stuart became the mild, soft-spoken cable access host of Daily Affirmations, a twee self-help show encouraging taking twelve step programs. The film also co-starred Laura San Giacomo and Vincent D'Onofrio.The film was a Box Office Bomb, being the second-worst grossing film based on an SNL character, beaten by It's Pat! (which would have been hard to do worse than; that film grossed $60,000.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy | |
| Stuart Saves His Family / int_16ddefda | comment |
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Though in this film's case, lethal idiocy. Smalley men die doing things while drunk, including Dad shooting Donnie with a hunting rifle, drunkenly thinking he's a deer. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Stuart Saves His Family / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: The Smalley men, historically and present. Stuart went to Al-Anon (as well as Adult Children of Alcoholics), while Donnie added being The Stoner to the mix. | |

Abusive Parents: Not physically, but Stuart's father maliciously mocked Stuart as a child, calling him "Waste of Space" and "Sir Eats-A-Lot". | |

Ambiguously Gay: It's never directly mentioned in the film, but it's quite obvious that Stuart is gay. The only hint is Dad saying "You'd drink too if you had Liberace for a son!" His Good-Times Montage is accompanied by gay icon Ethel Merman singing "Everything's Coming Up Roses". Mick LaSalle wrote in his review: | |
