Wasn't very good. I don't know that this movie needed to be this long. None of the relationships or characters felt really developed, which is baffling given the runtime.
I actually don't hate Davidson, and I've enjoyed bits of his standup as well as his role in Big Time Adolescence, but someone needed to rein him in a bit here. His style of self deprecating humor is in abundance here, but the longer that the film goes on, the more it just feels like self pity. I'm chalking that up partly to Davidson's writing, and also to his limitations as a dramatic actor, which won't allow him to actively garner sympathy from the audience.
I'm not sure that there were any likable characters in this.

Bill Burr was the standout performance, here by far. Davidson pretty much just plays a meaner, nastier Version of his character from Big Time Adolescence. Action Bronson has really funny cameo towards the end.

Just saw it yesterday, was enjoyable but dude's character does get annoying at times. Bill Burr stole the show.
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
It's a decent watch. I forgot I watched it tho but if you're bored and nothing is on, give it a whirl.
I might watch this today, it looks like some real shyt....he lost his father and never recovered from that.....

1 hour left. It’s ok and some decent comedy, but I’m tired of this dude’s sad sop story. Your father died when you were 7. You’re 24. Get over this shyt and grow up.
