Über diesen Film

Scott war erst sieben Jahre alt, als sein Vater bei einem Einsatz als Feuerwehrmann ums Leben gekommen ist. Inzwischen ist er Mitte Zwanzig und hat im Leben nicht viel erreicht – sein Traum von einer Karriere als Tattoo-Künstler scheint in weiter Ferne zu liegen. Während seine ambitionierte jüngere Schwester aufs College geht, wohnt Scott noch immer bei seiner überarbeiteten Mutter.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

A thoroughly enjoyable Judd Apatow dramedy. Slightly long which, if anyone who has watched his films, is a constant in all of them but outside of that, a really great story. Pete Davidson is great acting in a story very close to his heart, managing to be funny and emotional when required. Bill Burr and Marisa Tomei are fantastic as well. There's a few great actors in smaller parts that are gems. If you want to laugh, get dem feels and just genuinely enjoy a movie, this is a great pick.

This was basically Pete Davidson randomly throwing together scenes and memories from his childhood into a disconnected nonsensical movie. I was looking forward to watching this but didn't live up to expectations...surprised Judd Apatow put his name to it.

Patient, clever, contemporary and well acted drama with some very funny moments for relief which this tale of disfunction needs. The fire-fighting scenes are extraordinarily moving, the tip-fighting scenes however should have been left on the cutting room floor. A college party reminiscent of the bar scene from Star Wars LOL! A very likeable and memorable movie. Laser Beak Man with a tattoo gun - oh no!
