Kierre’s review of The King of Staten Island 2020 ★★★½
The King of Staten Island stars Pete Davidson as a 20-something who still lives at home with his mom played by Marisa Tomei, and is really going nowhere in life. His father, a Firefighter, passed away when he was young and now he doesn't work, and just does drugs, hangs out with his friends and practices tattooing. Once his mom begins dating a new man, who is also a Firefighter played by Bill Burr, his entire world is turned upside down.
I really enjoyed this film quite a bit. I was never a big fan of Pete Davidson and generally never found him to be particularly funny, but he was great in this. It is more a drama/comedy but is a film I highly recommend.
