Logline

An amusing trip starring Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne, and Robert De Niro.

Although Max’s career is telling jokes, his own life is anything but funny. The stand-up comedian is struggling to raise his autistic son, Ezra. Urged to transfer the boy to a special-needs school and put him on medication, Max instead kidnaps him and takes him cross-country, with his ex-wife and his father in pursuit.
