A Tale of Woe
30 April 2024
In baseball, we call this a swing and a miss by a mile. However, someone did make a movie, and that qualifies for something... 4 stars out of 10.

I get it. Life sucks, so why not make a film about it that goes nowhere, fails to emote any consequential feelings, and offers nothing more than a strong dose of nonsense steeped in a hard-to-believe reality. Why bother providing a substantive message?

A loser comedian comes into town with no vision of tomorrow and inspires a woman with two happy kids (it's hard to imagine why) and a husband who cheats but would rather it not get in the way to forsake her motel desk job and head out on the comedy circuit. That's it, plus a bunch of cliched nonsense that you hope is leading somewhere.

The acting wasn't bad, which is why I sat through it. Maybe you have something better to do.
