Underdeveloped and Unfunny Comedy about the Trappings of Fame
The talents of Gabriel Byrne and Kiersey Clemons can't save this underbaked comedy about how fame and money corrupt an artist. The main problem is a lack of character development and logic. As a result, too much is left for the audience to figure out what's going on and what's really at stake with the two main characters. Overall, a largely unsatisfying film.
