Veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz (Billy Crystal) forms an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship with New York singer Emma Payge (Tiffany Haddish) in the new comedy-drama Here Today. Emma — the unlikely recipient of a prize to have lunch with the comedy legend, despite not knowing who he is — gets off to a rocky start with Charlie (think seafood allergy, a hospital visit, and an epi pen). Before long, each finds in the other a sort of soul mate, forging a deep bond that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of friendship, love, and trust.
Q-tips say: See it! Billy Crystal not only gives us laughter but heartfelt tears along with it. Poignant and beautiful, Here Today tugs at the heartstrings with laughter, love, and friendship.
Mrs. Q says:
It can be saccharine, syrupy and silly… I liked the Crystal and Haddish relationship and when they mix it up, they really mix it up. See it.
