Veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz (Billy Crystal) forms an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship with New York singer Emma Payge (Tiffany Haddish) in the new comedy-drama Here Today. Emma -- the unlikely recipient of a prize to have lunch with the comedy legend, despite not knowing who he is -- gets off to a rocky start with Charlie (think seafood allergy, a hospital visit, and an epi pen). Before long, each finds in the other a sort of soul mate, forging a deep bond that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of friendship, love, and trust.

Critics Consensus

Here Today's well-matched stars share an infectious chemistry that's almost enough to overcome a frequently mushy mix of comedy and drama.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

This is more indulgent, and the more it goes on the more mawkish it unfortunately becomes. It's clearly a very personal project, but it just loses its way very badly.

Irish Times

A film with a big heart and more zingers than actual laughs.

Rated: 3/5

A glossily disingenuous piece of work.

Flick Feast

There is an inherently manufactured feel to it all, even during the select moments of legitimately effective drama.

Rated: 2/5

InSession Film

From a film perspective, it takes a master manipulator to make us feel genuine care and loss and sadly, Crystal is not even close to this level.

Rated: D

Keith & the Movies

Crystal directs, co-writes, co-produces and stars in this well-intended yet strangely uneven dramedy.

Rated: 2.5/5

Very touching story with great actresses and actors. I knew nothing about the movie and it was not what I expected - but it was well done. Even though it’s a sad story, there is a good balance of laughable moments. A professional reviewer said they didn’t know of it was a drama or a comedy. Does it have to be one or the other!?! Why not a mix - like real life. I LIKED it!!

This was NOT a comedy. It was a movie that had a huge message. Billy Crystal at his finest. Hit a home run dealing with people with dementia. Everyone should see this movie
