When an acclaimed New York playwright can’t seem to finish his new play, and his wife leaves him, he finds himself broke with nowhere to live. Faced with a midlife crisis, he begrudgingly moves in with his father (Elliott Gould) in a New Jersey retirement community, and sorts out his life while enduring his father’s endless jokes. Inspired by his beloved web series, play, and book, Old Jews Telling Jokes, Sam Hoffman’s directorial debut is a poignant, heartfelt comedy with a star-studded cast, including Annie Potts, Bebe Neuwirth, and Erich Bergen. (Adult content: language)

“Plenty endearing, and packed to the gills with wonderful AARP-aged actors who are clearly in tune with Hoffman’s old-school, Borscht Belt sensibilities…” –Andrew Barker, Variety
