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.

Could have been a really good 90 min movie, but they kept in 45 mins of useless stuff. Could probably skip the first half of the movie and you wouldn't even know it. The second half is really great, but the beginning is kind of a slog. A lot of repeated thoughts in multiple scenes. It suffers a lot because Pete is so unlikable for a great part of the movie. The preview looked great, but the movie is scattered. Worth a watch, but probably don't spend $20 on it...

Pretty great movie. Believable characters (not necessarily likable, just like life!) and authentic feeling story. Lots of intensity, depth and humour. I liked it a lot.

Do not listen to the people who say its bad.... or its to long. This is a great movie. You do not rush a story. This is a story. It all has purpose. This isn't supposed to be a superhero movie. Or some short fly through movie. This is great. The whole cast was great. I will be buying this movie.
