Ray Romano was not kidding when he titled his very recent standup special Right Here, Around the Corner. It gives me no joy to tell you that a mere two weeks after said special dropped (if anything that Ray Romano produces could be said to have “dropped”), Ray is has come back Around the Corner and he’s Right Here, calling from inside your house—and your heart. This time, he’s co-starring with Mark Duplass’ mustachios in buddy-comedy-with-a-twist, Paddleton (Friday). The twist is Mark has a terminal illness, and Ray is the buddy that’s going to be his rock in this difficult time. There will be laughs and there will be tears but we’re all going to come out the other side having learned a thing or two about ourselves.
I loved this movie the first time when it was called 50/50, and I can’t help but find both Duplass brothers compelling, so I’m definitely in, even if I remain aggressively uninterested in America’s Favorite Husband, as Oprah once weirdly called him.
