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.
