Why Stop Now?: Directed by Phil Dorling, Ron Nyswaner. With Jesse Eisenberg, Melissa Leo, Tracy Morgan, Emma Rayne Lyle. When a college piano prodigy tries to check his mother into rehab, he is taken hostage by her drug dealer and swept along on a wild adventure.

“This is one of those bonding comedies with characters that despise each other coming together. But the thing is the bonding is underdeveloped and just not engaging and the comedic moments are few but just isnu0026#39;t all that funny. In fact most of the comedic moments come from constant arguing and it gets old pretty darn quick. The plot is about a guy that is talented with the piano who is played by Jesse Eisenberg who career doesnu0026#39;t seem to be going up after u0026quot;The Social Networku0026quot;. And in this his character is trying to get his mom to rehab but in order for her to be part of the program she has to have certain amount of drugs in her system and because she doesnu0026#39;t have insurance. So they decide to find a drug dealer to get drugs to get drugs in his motheru0026#39;s system. And the drug dealer is played by Tracy Morgan and they all get put in a situation to stick together in order for each of them to get what they want. Nothing about the story or the performances stands out in this flick. I never found myself laughing or engaged into the story. Most of the elements in this movie has been done before and better. Itu0026#39;s watchable to a degree but isnu0026#39;t really worth the time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e3.8/10”
