"Life Stinks" is a 1991 comedy film directed by Mel Brooks. It is known as one of the few Mel Brooks films that is not a satire. The film co-stars Lesley Ann Warren and Jeffrey Tambor. The original music score was composed by John Morris.

Plot

In order to own a entire slum area of Los Angeles so he can tear it down, a callous, rich businessman, Goddard Bolt (CEO of Bolt Enterprises) makes a bet he can survive on those streets for 30 days completely penniless.
