he has co-written a script , directed and stars in a film that allows him to be very funny but also goes for raw emotions as a successful comedy writer who finds himself on the precipice of dementia. The core of the movie, though, explores the unlikely friendship he strikes up with a younger woman, an aspiring singer he “meets cute” — as they say in the trade — but who proves to be just the perfect relationship at this point later in his life.
The film starts broadly as that lunch turns into an unmitigated disaster when an extreme allergic reaction to some shellfish sends her to the emergency room. Uninsured, she is helped out by Burnz, who not only accompanies her but pays the bills and then agrees to give her a needed shot once she gets home.
The initial inspiration for the film came from a real-life incident that Zweibel turned into a short story. He had lunch with a fan who won it in an auction as a real bargain and then had that allergic reaction. He and Crystal took it from there, expanding it with the poignant circumstance of a very successful Emmy- and Tony-winning writer dealing with a life crisis while trying to keep it all together and keep it secret.
These scenes set at the show are dead-on and authentic as you might expect coming from the pen of Zweibel and one-timecastmember Crystal, particularly a meltdown in the middle of a live broadcast where Charlie goes directly at the actor doing the “Weekend Update”-style bit, breaking in and chastising him for his pronunciation of words in the script.
Haddish also has several key scenes including taking over a bat mitzvah she attends as a guest of Charlie’s, where she livens things up with a rousing rendition of “Piece of My Heart.” Haddish expertly blends precise comic timing with empathy, humanity and perfect chemistry with Crystal.
