Writer-director Jim Strouse’s warm and original take on single fatherhood features an inspired lead performance by Flight of the Conchords’ droll genius Jemaine Clement. He plays Will, a professor and graphic novelist who, at a birthday party for his precocious twin daughters’ birthday party, gets an unpleasant surprise when he discovers his wife Charlie (Stephanie Allynne) mid-tryst with their performance-artist friend Gary (Michael Chernus). A year later, now living in Astoria, Will spends as much quality time with his daughters as he can while negotiating an erratic single life and coping with Charlie’s impending marriage. But when a student (Jessica Williams) sets him up with her mom, Diane (Regina Hall), he finds himself moved to take responsibility, accept a new friendship with his ex, and come to terms with himself as both a father and an artist. Join us for a sneak preview of this New York City–set romantic comedy, a highlight at Sundance this year. A Film Arcade release.
