This is a movie that really caught me off guard. Not being a big Pete Davidson guy myself, this film caught my interest and was really a pleasure to watch.
The film follows Scott, played by Pete, who is a troubled man in his young twenties stricken by drug abuse, acting out, and deep rooted mental problems due to his dad passing away at a young age. He struggles to come to grips with his life and his troubled friends and relationships, all the while his mom starts dating a fireman, played by Bill Burr, who is part of the same firehouse Scott’s dad served at. This deeply troubles Scott as he tries to find a way around it and move on with his life.
It’s style is very sporadic and funny. This is a movie that manages to be hilarious throughout, sometimes unintentionally, and very serious with deep moral messages and meanings under the surface. As it covers moving on with life after tragedy and grieving processes the can effect family and children for generations. The performances all around are amazing. Especially Pete and Bill. Pete carries the film and his performance keeps you invested and interested in his story and character arc throughout. The film is very touching, simple, and down to earth, even sometimes poetic in nature to life lessons and being humble. As well as covering family tragedy and the human condition. While there wasn’t a whole lot of content released last year imo worth watching, The King Of Staten Island may be the best and is definitely a must watch.
