Time Out (2002)

Man loses his job but hides it from his family by pretending to get a position with the U.N., which has him out of town for days at a time. In order to make ends meet, he cons friends into “investing” in a made-up scheme so that he’ll have the cash to keep the ruse -- which even involves buying an expensive vehicle to replace his sufficient but not flashy minivan -- going.

It's possible I might have enjoyed this somewhat if the film helped us understand him a bit. Why did he feel he couldn’t tell his wife? Why did he work so hard not to work? He came off as completely out of touch with reality and possibly mentally disturbed.
