Near death experience can at times changes your perspective on life. This is exactly what happens to George Simmons. He is a successful comedian and actor who does not give much of a shit to people around him, essentially he is just full of himself. Ira Wright is an aspiring stand-up comedian who hopes to make it big one day. During one of his gigs, he meets with George and later becomes his personal assistant and writer. While George faces death daily, Ira hones his comedian delivery skills. Over time, their friendship deepens.
George miraculous recovers from his illness and he falls back into his own ways. He has failed to see why he is lonely and how he has gotten himself trapped in his own depression. His body might has recovered, but his mind has yet to chase up to reality.
Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. The movie is a little draggy and slow in developing the characters. Though it shares the interesting personal growth experience of George, you can't help feeling that there is still a little bit missing from this whole load of adventure and mishap.
