Standing Up, Falling Down
2019, Film, 91 min, Comedy, Drama, English, United States, MoviePedia score 64
A comedy about second chances.
An unlikely friendship kindles between a struggling stand-up comedian from L.A. — forced to move back home to Eastern Long Island with his tail between his legs — and a tragically flawed, but charming and charismatic, alcoholic dermatologist. Discovering to be kindred spirits, each helps the other find healing, in addition to the confidence to face the "failures" in their lives.
