doesn’t exactly stretch himself, acting-wise, with his starring role in his new film, which he also co-wrote, produced and directed. The acerbic comedian, who makes W.C. Fields look like a paragon of tolerance, plays an exaggerated version of himself in, about three middle-aged men coping with a politically correct society in which their old-school attitudes make them dinosaurs.
The film premiering on Netflix is predictable in virtually every respect, but Burr’s well-honed comic shtick and amusing gags should make it particularly popular among guys of a certain age, especially if they have plenty of beer and pizza on hand.
The three friends are experiencing personal issues as well. The 51-year-old Jack, who first became a father at 46, is married to the younger Leah , now pregnant with their second child. Connor’s young son has major impulse control issues thanks to his wife overindulging him. And Mike is dating the decades-younger Britney , who informs him that she’s pregnant despite his having had a vasectomy.
Jack is the proverbial bull in the china shop, unable to leave the house without becoming aggrieved over such modern phenomena as road-hogging e-scooter riders and self-righteous vapers. And don’t get him started on social media, about which he has a fully-loaded arsenal of profane insults. He’s also not above deliberately tripping a little boy, nor informing the obnoxious principal of his child’s pre-school that she’s a “stumpy c–t.
Some of the scenes are so pro forma that they seem to stem from an algorithm, such as an obligatory strip club excursion that provides the opportunity for some female nudity.
