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 parody. The film co-stars Lesley Ann Warren and Jeffrey Tambor. The original music score was composed by John Morris.In order to own an 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 with his biggest rival, who also has an interest in the slum area, that he can survive on those streets for 30 days completely penniless. If he succeeds he will be able to make a big profit by getting the area for almost nothing. His rival, though, plans to make his stay on the streets as bad as he can for Bolt to force him to give up before the 30 days are over. During his intermezzo on the streets of the city, Bolt, who is quickly given the nickname "Pepto" by other homeless persons, discovers a completely other side of life and eventually falls in love with a homeless woman.
