Why are so many producers/writers making movies today that do not have any real climax/ending to them? I enjoyed this movie until it was over and I realized there would be no conclusions forthcoming. And why did all the pickups have to be drunk or high on drugs? This movie could have been so much more.

It seems that many that reviewed the film missed the point of the plot. It's a movie for married men, and men in committed monogamous relationships, and it's about "manning up" to that commitment, regardless of what life throws at you. It's not just for the men in the audience though, it's for the women as well as the message here is about recognizing that commitment from their partners and being supportive in return. There is some fine acting going on in this movie, excellent photography, directing, and I thought the soundtrack to be well thought out and chosen in consideration of the lead actors' role in the film. I also enjoyed visiting L.A. virtually, as I grew up in the city but haven't been back to visit since 1991. I plan on it in 2021 for my 50th high school class reunion. I may park n Ventura though and take the Uber the remaining distance as the thought of driving in L.A. traffic again isn't on my "bucket list" My hat's off to the independent drivers for hire of L.A...and to the cast and crew of this movie, thanks for the "lift"..

Unexpectedly worthwhile film detailing the strengths and strains in a modern-day marriage in a major American city. Patrick Fabian, a favorite from "Better Call Saul" plays Leonard, whose joy in life and his work was the record store he owned for so many years that he feels like he doesn't know how to do anything else. He decides to take a job driving for a new service, and in the course of that, learns more about his city and its inhabitants than maybe he really cares to know. However, he gets into a groove with the job and, though his wife seems to want more, he IS making progress...and friends! Both the lead roles here are extremely nuanced and amazing to watch this husband and wife navigate a difficult time. Funny, touching, an exploration of modern-day life and its joys and obstacles.

This movie for me showed a lot of depth of caricatures and also a unrecognized struggle that many men face of ambiguity and general confusion\monatony of day to day life. It illustrated that no matter the social respect you earn for your job, every action adds to another's life experience.

The movie goes in quiet mood despite many interacting characters, as the main one do. While watching just waiting for a big change to happen , it will , not in the events, but in your mind. Moving from real ordinary life to new little active one ,is all what you need sometimes.
