Will Arnett plays a rookie stand-up comic, freshly divorced, in this warm, bittersweet comedy.
As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex dips into the New York comedy scene while Tess confronts the sacrifices she made for their family. The split is largely amicable, but stresses and strains persist around co-parenting, identity shifts – and whether old love can take new form. Originating in the real-life experience of British comedian John Bishop and co-written by Arnett (Arrested Development) and Cooper (A Star is Born, Maestro), this is a real charmer of a picture, loose and funny, about the vicissitudes of middle age.
