My Best Friend's Famous

2019 · 92 min

A breezy, mildly biting indie comedy about envy and ego that coasts on awkward charm rather than big laughs.

Tagline: His Gain. Is My Pain.
Overview: After Sean Reilly, an earnest, self-deprecating, NY to LA transplant learns his slothful, less talented best friend gets a starring role on a hit TV show, he must battle his own insecurities and jealousy as well as the egocentric, spray-tanned male star of the show that is threatening his childhood friendship.
How it feels: Light, satirical, earnest and cynical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, ambition, identity, obsession
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
