Back in the Game
28 February 2022
There are some choice moments. I wish the strip club wasn't the transitional piece, but when Lenny Bruce returns, he is the boost. Then there is Abe's appearance at a new Broadway musical, written and directed by a relative. He is obligated to write a review for the Village Voice where Tony Shaloub shows his brilliance. He then confronts his acidic community at a Bar Mitzvah. But the creme de la creme is a speech by Susie at the funeral of a friend she barely knew. She hijacks another funeral when no one shows up for her friend's. This is one of the best movie eulogies ever. Great return.
