NEW YORK (CNS) In adapting his script partner Alan Zweibel s short story The Prize into the seriocomedy Here Today (Sony), director and co-writer Billy Crystal sets out to blend breezy humor with poignant drama. Unfortunately, the film in which he also stars as aging TV comedy writer Charlie Burnz falls flat in both respects.
As a wildly successful comedian and Hollywood actress, Tiffany Haddish appears to have very little to cry about. However, that was exactly what she was challenged to do on the set of her new film.
“Here Today” is Haddish’s new film that also stars Billy Crystal, who served as the director as well. The movie centers on a famous comedy writer named Charlie Burnz, played by Crystal, who happens upon New York street singer Emma Payge Haddish’s role after she wins lunch with him at a charity fundraiser.
