In this sharp dramedy directed by Taylor Hackford, comedy legend Jackie Burke, portrayed by Robert De Niro, finds himself at a crossroads when his decades-long career as a beloved insult comic begins to feel hollow. Determined to prove his relevance in a rapidly changing entertainment landscape, he risks everything to reinvent himself, but the path to artistic integrity is paved with brutal honesty and unexpected humiliation. As he navigates the unforgiving New York stand-up scene, he clashes with a merciless young comic star, played by Leslie Mann, and struggles to connect with his estranged family, including his weary wife, played by Edie Falco. With his ego bruised and his legacy on the line, Jackie must confront the very nature of comedy and what it truly costs to make people laugh. Featuring a stellar supporting cast including Harvey Keitel, Danny DeVito, and Cloris Leachman, this film delivers a poignant and brutally funny look at fame, ambition, and the desperate fight for a second act.
