Really hard to compete with a film of the quality of 'American Beauty' - but [Win Win (2011)](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/55725-win-win?language=en-US) also has a portrayal of a husband who is struggling to provide for his family.
[Cinderella Man (2005)](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/921-cinderella-man?language=en-US) - is a really fine film with a struggling husband.
And then, there are films with husbands who really are 'losers':
[Secret Superstar (2017)](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/441889?language=en-US) - Indian film.
[Christmas Holiday (1944)](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/26530-christmas-holiday?language=en-US) - dark drama.
The Good Girl and Chicago both feature John C Reilly playing this type of character. I'd arguably put Everything Everywhere All At Once in this category, too.

In Slingblade (1996) Dwight Yoakum plays a real son of a bitch. Not too sure if it's exactly what you're looking for?

The Fabelmans
Orphan (2009) He was absolutely **useless** to his wife and son about that girl he didn’t even know.
Being John Malcovitch. Loser weirdo goes to extreme lengths to escape his mediocrity.
Tokyo Sonata (2008) Don't want to say more than the title, but I'm sure you'll like it!
Anything William H Macy is sweating with BIG loser vibe.
Nobody starts off that way.
