Paddleton (2019)
7/10
good coupling
29 March 2019
Neighbors Michael (Mark Duplass) and Andy (Ray Romano) are the best of friends. They watch HK Kung Fu movies and play a made-up game called Paddleton. Michael gets the bad news of terminal cancer. The two friends go on a drive to buy prescription drugs for Michael's euthanasia.

Ray Romano makes this coupling work. Mark Duplass has made a career out of the mumblecore indie. This was shown in Sundance and got released on Netflix. This is mostly dependent on the two leads' chemistry. Duplass is his usual self. It's Romano who is the star. He has the stuttering delivery, sharp comedy, and the quick mind. There are several instances of great comedy and tender relations. The duo really works in its simple form. It's not much of a story but the pairing is really good.
