1h 46m | Drama | 7 January 2022 (USA)
Storyline:A boy (Jr.) seeks a replacement for his father, who disappeared shortly after his birth, and bonds with his uncle Charlie and the patrons at a bar in Long Island. Uncle Charlie works as a bartender there and knows all of the staff and regular patrons. He is a charismatic individual and all of his friends are eager to initiate Jr. into their rituals. Jr. listens closely to the stories of these men and relies on these stories for guidance on how to live.Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated R for language throughout and some sexual contentUser review:We saw this at an Amazon premiere at our local movie theater. I enjoyed the story of JR growing up and learning about becoming a man from his Uncle Charlie, since his own father is absent. JR navigates his way through life and ends up attending Yale and getting a job as a writer. Charlie teaches him to respect women, fosters his love of reading and writing, teaches him to be responsible with money, and other lessons.I wish there was a bit more character development of a few of the bar patrons – just a little one-on-one interaction with each of them with JR would have added to the story.Overall, a nice story told well, and worth watching.
