Billy Crystal gives one of the best dramatic performances of his career in Standing Up, Falling Down. If you have ever watched a standup comedian and thought “I could do that,” this is the perfect reality check for you. Scott, in his 30s, returns to his parents’ home on Long Island after four years trying for success in comedy clubs in Los Angeles. A sudden encounter might be the prescription for this damaged soul. This lighthearted film makes a good case for both falling down and standing up.
