The actor helms, scripts and acts in a screen adaptation of his 2016 novel about the reunion of an aspiring novelist and his dying dad.

After Teddy receives a dire call from Mariana , a grief counselor nurse who informs him that Marty is suffering from terminal cancer, Teddy reunites with his widowed father and even decides to move into his suburban home to help him through his final days.

That leads to one of the film’s less successful plot elements, in which Teddy and Mariana find the lost love, Eva , and arrange a tender reunion. What might have worked on the page here seems rushed and unconvincing, especially when Marty and Eva pretend to have vigorous sex behind closed doors while a horrified Teddy eavesdrops.
