Seen from the eyes of young Sam Giamatti, "The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations" presents this individual's rite of passage from proposed happiness to the nectar found in sweaty beer. These 13 tales range from gross to funny; with a few jabs poked at religion, sex and politics. "The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations" is deliberately controversial and funny like "Saturday Night Live" used to be.
