A truly wonderful film about the life of two brothers, one a successful comedian, and the other his manager/assistant. The film spans their entire lives, from two youngsters performing in the lounge for the family to old age.
A terrific and sad story about the brothers' relationship over the years. Through the film we get a real insight into what drives the Billy Crystal character and his brother.
Written and directed by Crystal himself, the film is so touching, funny and enjoyable.
