Two male actors/close friends want to jumpstart their careers. They end up making a big shot producer think that they have a hot script that everyone wants to get their hands on. The 2 men then drive to upstate New York and hole up in a family member's country home- with 10 dedicated days to write said script. Dominic and Raphael then get derailed by a beautiful gardener, Ava and Dominic's sister, Gigi. Both women appear at the house, which was supposed to be serene enough to focus on the task at hand. But to add to the problems, Gigi's boyfriend Wayne arrives, still suffering from PTSD, and his brother Devon as well, creating even more havoc. A looming deadline and complicated personal histories create scenes that are humorous and emotional. Written by Liora P
I really didn't have high expectations for this. The few reviews there are, most of them seem mixed, if barely decent. So I'm a little surprised by how entertaining I found the film to be. The acting is pretty solid across the board, the two leads do a good job. As one would expect though, the big stars steal the show. Sam Rockwell has been one of the finest actors around for a long time now, and this is no exception. Different from what he usually excels at, too. Marisa Tomei is even funner, being loud, often brassy, but with enough heart to really sell and become the heart of the film. The two supporting players steal the show, but not terribly so that you don't care about the leads.
