The Mozart farce

Why Stop Now (2012)

Written as well as directed by Phil Dorling and Ron Nsywaner this film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Melissa Leo, Tracy Morgan and Isiah Whitlock Jr. A young man has a bad day trying to juggle taking his mother to rehab, an important audition and drug dealers.

This is a pretty charming farce that has a decent heart to it even if the story is fairly simple. There are some decent character moments enhanced by the good cast and more than a few funny moments through out the film. Largely the film is well made and the screw ball nature is a nice change to the usual comedies that get pumped out.


4/5
