Best friends since they were kids, Rabbi Jacob Schram and Father Brian Finn are dynamic and popular young men living and working on New York's Upper West Side. When Anna Reilly, once their childhood friend and now grown into a beautiful corporate executive, suddenly returns to the city, she reenters Jake and Brian's lives and hearts with a vengeance. Sparks fly and an unusual and complicated love triangle ensues.
My review · Reviewed 07/04/2023
While Stiller and Norton are both very good here (of course), it is Elfman that steals the show and is the emotional center of the movie. Her character very much reminded me of Kim from Better Call Saul. It may have overstayed its welcome just a bit but I felt it was worthwhile.
