Oddball comedy starring Matt Lucas. Bald and morbidly obese Franklin Franklin (Lucas) lives in an apartment complex filled with other quirky and eccentric characters including his stoner neighbour Tommy Balls (Johnny Knoxville) and the permanently bitter Mr. Allspice (James Caan). In a heated argument over rent, Franklin accidentally kills his landlord Mr Olivetti (Peter Stormare) and while staging the death as a suicide unwittingly causes a fire. When he hears that his brother has died from a brain tumour and left him a rather large amount of money in a Swiss bank account, Franklin sees an opportunity to make his escape, but before he can do so, he'll have to avoid detection by the fire investigation team led by Burt Walnut (Billy Crystal).
Hilarious and heartfelt observations on aging from one of America's favorite comedians as he turns 65, and a look back at a remarkable career Billy Crystal is turning 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life, from entertaining his relatives as a kid in Long Beach, Long Island, his years doing stand-up in the Village, up through his legendary stint at "Saturday Night Live," "When Harry Met Sally," and his long run as host of the Academy Awards. Readers get a front-row seat to his one-day career with the New York Yankees (he was the first player to ever "test positive for Maalox"), his love affair with Sophia Loren, and his enduring friendships with several of his idols, including Mickey Mantle and Muhammad Ali. He lends a light touch to more serious topics like religion ("the aging friends I know have turned to the Holy Trinity: Advil, bourbon, and Prozac"), grandparenting, and, of course, dentistry. As wise and poignant as they are funny, Crystal's reflections are an unforgettable look at an extraordinary life well lived.
