Or "overthink about it". The movie is an ensemble cast of quirky characters, each committing crimes or breaking social norms of one sort or another as they pursue the four travel bags with the same fervor that Judy pursues Howard. This comedy is a two-hour live action version of a Warner Brothers cartoon with Streisand as Bugs Bunny (she even nibbles on a carrot). To say the character of Judy attempts to "force" Howard to buy a radio for her, or was committing identity theft when she shows up at the dinner pretending to be Eunice, is akin to saying Bugs was attempting murder when he tricked Elmer Fudd to walk off a cliff. The movie even ends with the final scene of the Bugs-Elmer cartoon "What's Up, Doc?" and Porky Pig busting through the drum and excusing us with "That's All Folks". I don't think it's intended as a lesson in pathological or antisocial behavior.
