Nick M I love a 70s 90s film in the 2020s. Basic and beautiful. Gotta love a novel happy ending. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Jordan T This movie was a bittersweet story between a veteran burnout comic and his son who is just getting started in the business. A tale of failed redemption that will make you laugh and then cry. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Alan J I liked the film, Doug Stanhope was a lot better than expected. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Michelle-Lee W This film is sweet, straightforward and strong-hearted. I can tell the script was written and acted with great care. I liked its texture and the subject. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Angel J This movie is an independent movie and I am glad they were able to put it together. It's a great script, I love Stanhope's performance, and I love the ending. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Chris R There's a real warmth to this movie set in the winter of discontent. Stanhope is Jimmy Quinn (read Ben Sanderson) with better jokes which should automatically qualify him for an Oscar nomination. Honestly, I went in to the movie thinking; I wonder if he'll channel Nicolas Cage. He does. At least a little bit. He goes through all the emotions. Four of them alone in 30 seconds. Most of the time he goes to his happy a lot. Because all the other emotions suck. The happy is booze. At least until the end. Which brings us to David Maranto. Played by Des Mulrooney. Great performance. First acting role. Didn't suck. Very creditable as Jimmy's son. Good acting and hit the mark on the jokes especially with the love scene. So Khrystyne Haje has been a junior high-school crush of mine since the TV show Head of the Class. She is phenomenal. Never missed a beat. Great performance. Still gorgeous and that not just my opinion but also according to the Prince of Monaco. Every character plays an important role. Tim Kazurinsky, Greg Fitzsimmons, Emma Darcy who plays Heather, the Hotel receptionist; they all delivered convincingly. Killer termites should play the Challie/Tracy game. I saw Greg once and Tracy twice. To be fair there was some things that was a head scratcher. The David/Mom scene came off odd. The steal from the church had no resolution. I got the joke but to do a closer of maybe leaving a pawn shop with Jimmy saying "Looks like the Lord is worth $50 bucks" would've been a good message. I know everyone's a critic. Regardless the movie works. The story is good. Lives are solved. Motivations are solved. Goals are met, save one. This is good movie. Definitely worth the watch.
