Scott (Davidson) has been a case of arrested development ever since his firefighter father died when he was seven. He’s now reached his mid-20s having achieved little, chasing a dream of becoming a tattoo artist that seems far out of reach. As his ambitious younger sister (Maude Apatow) heads off to college, Scott is still living with his exhausted ER nurse mother (Marisa Tomei) and spends his days smoking weed, hanging with the guys—Oscar (Ricky Velez), Igor (Moises Arias) and Richie (Lou Wilson)—and secretly hooking up with his childhood friend Kelsey (Bel Powley). But when his mother starts dating a loudmouth firefighter named Ray (Bill Burr), it sets off a chain of events that will force Scott to grapple with his grief and take his first tentative steps toward moving forward in life.
I am stunned at how good this movie was and how much I enjoyed it. Pete Davidson was great and had some incredible one liners. It might have helped massively that he was basically playing himself but it was still great. The comedy that was like 2 hours and 15 minutes long avoided that usual death sentence. Had a lot of heart and a lot of laughs with a bunch of characters that you definitely cared about.
I would absolutely recommend that people check this one out. Granted not a lot has come out this year but this is one of the best movies of the year so far.
Set in the dazzling world of the LA music scene comes the story of Grace Davis (Tracee Ellis Ross), a superstar whose talent, and ego, have reached unbelievable heights, and Maggie (Dakota Johnson), her overworked personal assistant. While stuck running errands, Maggie still aspires to her childhood dream of becoming a music producer. When Grace’s manager (Ice Cube) presents her with a choice that could alter the course of her career, Maggie and Grace come up with a plan that could change their lives forever.
This was a very fun and simple movie. The characters played very well off of each other. The whole "what a small world" story that plays out was very entertaining. I was very surprised that I enjoyed this as much as I did.
I would recommend people checking this out if they want a simple and enjoyable watch. It's not a must see by any means but it was a good, breezy kind of watch.
