While far from being a perfect movie, "King" gives Pete Davidson's deadpan comedy room to roam.

Heart-on-sleeve emotional states of Davidson's millennial anti-hero get pressed through modern American society's limited choices.

Its drug store robbery subplot is this film's most grievous error.

Marisa Tomei and Bel Powley steal scenes left and right.

If Staten Island must have a king, Pete Davidson is as a good choice as any.

"I'm just trying to spread awareness."

Rated R. 136 mins.

Comedy from simpler times. No smart phones. No internet. Ah, the peacefulness of it all.

Comforting.

Mike Myers was at the height of his game when he made this comic gem set in San Francisco.

Myers plays two roles, that of Charlie Mackenzie, a San Francisco poet, and Charlie's very Scottish kilt-wearing father. Bay City Rollers bitches.

Hilarious.

Charlie performs beat poetry about his fear of romantic commitment at SF's legendary Vesuvios Cafe in North Beach.  

Awesome.

Things get twisty when Charlie takes a shine to Harriet (Nancy Travis), a neighborhood butcher who speaks multiple languages, and who may be, wait for it, an axe murderer.

Eat it with a spoon to get every drop.

Rated PG-13. 93 mins.

Craig Brewer's biopic valentine to the great Rudy Ray Moore is a romping hoot.

Eddie Murphy gives a joyful portrayal of the colorful quadruple threat actor, stand-up comic, singer, and film producer, Mr. Rudy Ray Moore (March 17, 1927 to October 19, 2008).

If only all biopics were half this much fun.

Kicks.

Whether or not you're familiar with Rudy Ray Moore, you'll have a great time discovering his inventive path to personal glory.

Rudy was one "mean motor-scooter."

Here's your proof sucka.

Rated R. 118 mins.
