Luke plays Bert's father. It asada actually filmed early Covid, but they had to shelf it until the drama of Ukraine/Russia died down.

That trailer should get some people fired for how quickly I lost interest in the movie.

His book "Life of the Party: Stories of a Perpetual Man-Child" is pretty funny and he does the reading for the audiobook version.

That's all I got.

I saw this on Thursday, and it was surprisingly good. I'm a fan of Kreischer, but I know that doesn't really translate into a movie. However, this movie WAS entertaining. I liked the cast. And Bert's real wife made a guest appearance as the divorced wife of someone else at the pool party. The sound quality of the action sequences were really good as well. There was a shootout in this small room full of echos because it was all marble, and it sounded great.

Also, as Aldarion Aldarion was talking about music soundtracks in the GotG movie, it reminded me of this. This was all songs from the 90's, and it was good music. Especially when Filter's Hey Man Nice Shot came on. I really liked this movie.

Bret Chrysler is definitely an acquired taste. Hope the movie is funny so other comics can make good comedies again, though.

I’ll watch it when it comes to streaming but Bert’s career is entirely about riding Segura’s dick and I’ve never found him funny by himself.

I knew Bert probably 10+ years before Tom. Besides his shows on FX and Travel Channel Bert also had his first comedy special years before Tom did. Bert certainly didn't need Tom. I like them both though and they work well together. They both continuously promote each other as well.
