Life has its downs for James, living with his mom in Chicago at 39, an aging performer at Second City, eating and weighing too much. A woman he's been dating drops him, as does his agent, her brother. James turns down roles in local TV, roles that make him sad. Someone's remaking his favorite movie, "Marty," a role he'd love, but he doesn't even get an audition.

My review · Reviewed 10/29/2024

If you are going to write and direct a movie that is as drab and uneventful as this movie is, you should at least cast someone with some kind of personality. Of course, the writer, director and lead actor are the same person. If it weren't for Sarah Silverman and Bonnie Hunt bringing some light in very small roles, this movie would have nothing to offer. It felt like Garlin was trying to do his best Seth Rogen before Rogen was even a thing.
