Jim Gaffigan is a middle aged white guy…
But wait, there’s more! It’s a dramatic, low-key indie film where Gaffigan plays a has been rocket scientist who now just creates a Bill Nye the Science Guy-like series from his garage. He lives with his estranged also-scientist wife and their teen daughter in a little suburban street…
Things go awry when a handsome doppelganger arrives on the scene and takes over his show…and a rocket crashes into his backyard and the government cordons off his house.
It’s a slow movie and you can kinda see the plot twist coming. Very melancholy.
Gaffigan does a decent job in both roles. Not bad, just not really recommended. Very much an art house film like will Farrell in “everything must go”.
