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.

Watched somewhere else , and not for shed loads of money. Watchable and instantly forgettable movie about a drop kick with depression/trauma over fathers death. A talentless individual who cant even be a lookout for a heist in local pharmacy. Meh....look I watched it for bill burr expecting a laugh or two. Spoiler alert ... there isn't any.

Have no idea what its like because 13.99 to rent is so stupid. And yes, I would complain at the cinema if tomorrow they said its £60. No doubt the people saying stop complaining about the price are sat at home being paid to do nothing

You can't compare the price to that of a cinema. The difference between a phone screen and a cinema screen is.. One is massive, which is why we pay a fairly big amount to watch there
