A down-on-his-luck reporter takes an unusual job that quickly turns into something far stranger than he ever imagined. Thrown into the extravagant world of a wealthy family, he forms an unexpected bond that begins changing everyone around him. Beneath the outrageous comedy is a story about friendship, loneliness, and the difference between having money and having people who care about you. Next week, we’re reviewing a movie about privilege, growing up, and one of the strangest premises to ever become a Hollywood comedy. Commissioned by Jason B. 7/21/26.
