Not really a comedy, only funny parts were the Bill Burr rants. Wasn't feeling Pete Davidson on screen. 45 minutes too long.

6 out of 10 to be generous
Dont buy, wait for it on cable/streaming

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.
