CHEVY CHASE, RICHARD DREYFUSS, ANDIE MACDOWELL, LEWIS BLACK, KATE MICUCCI AND CHRIS PARNELL WILL STAR IN GREG PRITIKIN’S "THE LAST LAUGH"

Emmy Award Winner® Chevy Chase (Caddyshack, Fletch, National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise and TV’s Saturday Night Live), Academy Award Winner® Richard Dreyfuss (The Goodbye Girl, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Jaws), Andie MacDowell (Groundhog Day, Four Weddings and A Funeral, Sex, Lies and Videotape), Lewis Black (TV Miniseries Madoff, Inside Out, The Aristocrats), Kate Micucci (The Lego Batman Movie, The Little Hours, Don’t Think Twice) and Chris Parnell (Battle of the Sexes, Sisters, “Archer”) have boarded comedy The Last Laugh. Written and directed by Greg Pritikin (Dummy), the Netflix Original from producer Rob Paris of Paris Film, Inc. starts shooting today in New Orleans.

After 50 years, talent manager and widower Al Hart reunites with former client Buddy Green who gave up a promising career as a stand-up comedian and instead settled down to have a family. After Al convinces Buddy to perform on a bucket list tour of classic standup venues across the U.S., Buddy gets on last taste of the life he could have had. The Last Laugh shows the rollercoaster ride of two men rekindling friendships, careers and ideas of the past while traveling around the country together.

“It’s not surprising a script as poignant and funny as this attracted such award-winning talent,” said Paris. “It’s a perfect fit for a distributor like Netflix because it has universal themes and internationally-recognizable stars. I’m beyond excited to begin production with our amazing team in New Orleans and our dream cast.”

Online publications deal in the same eye-catching tabloid headlines that were once exclusive to rags like WEEKLY WORLD NEWS and the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. The monetization of clicks is ruining many forms of journalism and film criticism is just one of them. When organizations can see what headlines are generating revenue its only natural that sensationalism would start to rise. There is no consorted hivemind like conspiracy to destroy certain films but rather internet activity that has boosted a certain type of writer. From the outside, online film critics share quite a bit with their Twitter troll counterparts.

The critical response to John Travolta's passion project Gotti has been less than favorable, in fact, it has been downright abysmal. A project over ten years in the making, Travolta has poured his heart and soul into this venture. And many writers seem to take pleasure in the film's failure.

Depression is often marked by sadness, despair, and hopelessness. The sense that things will not get better is something most of us pass through at different points in our lives. But depression is something more than that. It’s not just a temporary feeling, it’s a debilitating emotional state that you can’t simply pull yourself out of. The angry outbursts, irritability, and frustration that come along with depression can isolate individuals suffering from this condition and push them deeper into their own thoughts. Everyone needs to be heard and sometimes those who can’t express themselves in traditional forms find their voice in art.
Edvard Munch wrestled with agoraphobia and frequently had hallucinations, one of which inspired THE SCREAM, a painting so iconic that even the most casual art enthusiast is familiar with the piece. Sylvia Plath took a more direct approach with THE BELL JAR and laid out the details of her depression with brutal honesty. Briana Dickerson a white suburba…
