The King of Staten Island
More like Court Jester
PRAISE: If you are not a fan of Pete Davidson this movie is not for you.
I'm definitely not an ultra fan but I have enjoyed his stand up and rants on Saturday Night Live
This is Davidson full throttle, his brand of humor,personality and mannerisms
His character is semi ambitious slacker, still coping with the loss of his firefighter father, his mom dating a firefighter and an on an off relationship with Kelsey (Bel Powley)(Very good)
The cast including:Marisa Tomei,Bill Burr,Bel Powley,Maude Apatow,Steve Buscemi turn in good performances
I loved the honesty of the character, the humor was laugh out loud 80% of the time
Some of the dramatic moments really ring true and if you have ever lived in the Tri State area like me you will definitely get a few more laughs out of the film.
PROBLEMS: 20 minutes definitely could have been shaved off the film
Some of the jokes fall flat.
There is something so incredibly gripping that happens at the beginning of the film and is never talked about or addressed again, i said wait ! What?
I guess a character slightly talking about it in a sentence was suppose to wash it away.....no didn't satisfy me ! !
Scale of 1-10 a 7½
