I see what you mean, but 'everyone knows' bankers, businessmen and politicians (and the clergy, military commanders, English aristocrats, Roman emperors etc. etc.) are fundamentally evil, which is why they're the villains in so many films. They're just obvious bad guys. But in Nuts in May you're invited to see this clearly well-meaning man as a miniature tyrant in his own right, especially in terms of his relationship with his wife/girlfriend, who seems to be childishly naive and docile almost to the point of being retarded.
(On the other hand, he does obviously really care about things - a bit too much for his own good, perhaps - and on the whole, people who care about things are a Good Thing and we need more of them, as long what they care about isn't an obnoxious delusion like racial purity or whatever. People who don't seem to care particarly about anything are a scourge of the age, I think.)
Edit: sure thing Dave, it's not *just* a comedy, but I found a lot of it pretty funny...
