4/5
Doug Stanhope is a stand out in this on-the-road story, as he projects all the weariness of his “hanging around too long” stand-up comic, and newcomer Des Mulrooney stands toe to toe as son David against his reluctant curmudgeon father. W/photo slideshow. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nick M 04/01/2024 I love a 70s 90s film in the 2020s. Basic and beautiful. Gotta love a novel happy ending. See more Jordan T 01/14/2024 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. See more Read all reviews
