Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
When ghostwriter and aspiring comedian Aubri Wilson (Zade) is placed in charge of the Christmas variety show, she worries she might not have what it takes to pull off this make-or-break moment in her career. With Christmas just weeks away, Aubri is in pursuit of the perfect headliner for the event. That is, until famous Hollywood comedian Mike Baxter (Epstein) returns to the comedy club that launched his career. There, Mike rediscovers his stand-up roots, and Aubri shows the world her inner funny girl, and as their journeys collide, they fall hopelessly and hilariously in love, laughing all the way.
My Thoughts
Anyone who has seen The Marvelous Mrs. Mazel knows, stand up in TV/Movies can be a hard thing to depict. I’m not sure any fictionalized stand up hasn’t been cringe. Jake Epstein has the charisma to make it work but the synopsis refers to the Character of Aubri showing her “inner funny girl” and that is an automatic Put a Cork in it.
