I saw Ezra, starring Bobby Cannavale-Spy, Paul Blart: Mall Cop; Rose Byrne-the Insidious movies, Spy; Robert De Niro-Killers of the Flower Moon, Machete and introducing William A. Fitzgerald-this is his first movie.
This is a heart warming film about families with tough decisions to make and how they handle them. Bobby & Rose are the parents of William, an autistic boy. Bobby and Rose are separated-going through a divorce-with Rose having custody and Bobby seeing William as much as he can, because Bobby is a stand up comic. Bobby takes William with him to the comedy clubs as his good luck charm. Robert is Bobby's father and Bobby lives with him for financial reasons. Bobby and Rose usually agree on how they are raising William, except for his schooling; Bobby wants William to attend regular schools and Rose wants him to go to special needs schools for children with difficulties. When Bobby gets a chance to appear on The Jimmy Kimmel Show-only catch is that he must drive because they wouldn't furnish a plane ticket-he takes William with him on a road trip where they both have some life experiences. There are several cameos. I remember seeing Tony Goldwyn-who also directs the movie-Rainn Wilson, Vera Farmiga and Whoopi Goldberg.
It's rated R for language, drug use and sexual situations-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 40 minutes.
It's a good one to stream.
