Movie #2195 "Here Today " (netflix) -- when we saw that Billy Crystal was in this, we had to see it. Disclaimer --- not huge fans of TiffanyHaddish, but we decided to watch it anyway, and it ws pretty good. Nice sentiment, most of the time. Some good laughs, but not a laugh riot. It is character and situational humor, for sure. If you decide to turn it off, wait until you see the spoof of SNL where Billy does a long monologue rage on humor and why this one guy screws up jokes by the cadence of his words. Hysterical but full of so much sadness..... the whole movie walks that line due to Billy's awareness of the dementia that is taking over his mind ---- something he wants to stop but knows he can't. I really got into this film and would rate it 4, but I know it isn't for everyone.
