Overview
An aging comic icon, Jackie Burke, has seen better days. Despite his efforts to reinvent himself and his comic genius, the audience only wants to know him as the former television character he once played. Already a strain on his younger brother and his wife, Jackie is forced to serve out a sentence doing community service for accosting an audience member. While there, he meets Harmony, the daughter of a sleazy Florida real estate mogul, and the two find inspiration in one another, resulting in surprising consequences.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sad-funny portrait of a washed-up comic trapped between who he was and who he wants to be, finding unexpected grace in an unlikely connection. The film moves between sharp-edged comedy and genuine loneliness, never quite letting you settle into either.
