About this movie

Judd Apatow (Trainwreck, Knocked Up & The 40-Year-Old Virgin) directs Saturday Night Live breakout Pete Davidson in a bracing comedy about love, loss and laughter on Staten Island. 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, HBO's Euphoria) heads off to college, Scott is still living with his exhausted ER nurse mother (Oscar®-winner Marisa Tomei) and spends his days smoking weed, hanging with his buddies and secretly hooking up with his childhood friend Kelsey. When his mother starts dating a loudmouth firefighter, 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.

Il prezzo è alto, ma si spiega considerato il periodo di uscita: la distribuzione è contemporaneamente nei cinema non disponibili ovunque e in noleggio online. Il film semi autobiografico racconta la vita dell'attore protagonista in un gigantesco what if in cui si immagina la vita di Pete Davidson se non avesse intrapreso la carriera di comico. L'attore racconta e "rivive" la propria storia con la stessa chiave comica e a tratti drammatica dei suoi spettacoli di stand up comedy (1 su Netflix)

PRO: Pete Davidson si mette a nudo con coraggio e irriverenza. Bill Burr riconferma le sue grandi doti comiche al fianco di Marisa Tomei. Ammirevole la vena più malinconica e matura di certe sequenze. CONTRO: 137 minuti sono decisamente troppi. Alcune sottotrame non aggiungono nulla di fondamentale.
