I never managed to feel sorry for them. Absolutely nothing sank in and there were constant comments blaming "the bankers" for their situation, when they had been doing the exact same thing to the people they sold timeshares to. They don't "see things our way." The entire film was dripping with irony. I was either laughing or disgusted throughout.

David believes he deserves to be a king. He doesn't relate himself to you or any other average person, and I didn't see a speck of humility at the end. He just becomes bitter and lashes out at his family. It's obvious he doesn't care for them in the slightest. They were just props to project his self-image into the world. When his house is no longer full of Miss Americas and celebrities, his "happy" family is just a drain on his precious finances. There's no one left to show off to. Just piles and piles of dog poo poo and a wife who belongs on Hoarders.
