Summary
  • "An aging comic icon, Jackie, has seen better days. Despite his efforts to reinvent his comic genius, the audience only wants to know him as the television character he once played. Already a strain on his brother and sister-in-law, Jackie is sentenced to community service for accosting an audience member. That's where he meets Harmony, the daugther of a Florida real estate mogul, and the two find inspiration in one another resulting in surprising consequences."--
  • A look at the life of an aging insult comic named Jack Burke
