Posted By Bob Grimm on Tue, May 11, 2021 at 7:15 AM MOVIE REVIEW: Here Today Now playing at Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18 Billy Crystal writes, directs and stars in a film that feels like it’s a million years old. He plays Charlies Burnz, a writer for a Saturday Night Live type sketch show who is dealing with dementia. A subplot has his Charlie befriending Emma (Tiffany Haddish), a cabaret singer with a shellfish allergy.

The audience laughs appreciatively; what a cut-up! Stone good-naturedly reminds him: I m Meryl Streep. Another laugh. That Charlie! Advertisement Charlie s daughter Francine (Broadway star Laura Benanti) is not amused. She thinks he must be drunk or that he does not care enough about her to respond to the invitation to her daughter s bat mitzvah. And his colleagues at a Saturday Night Live -style late night sketch comedy show just think it s a quirky eccentricity that he insists on a typewriter instead of a computer. ....
