OPENING ACT, THE/BD

Ohio office drone Will Chu (Jimmy O. Yang) stubbornly refused to let his dream of making it in standup comedy die. However, when the wholly unexpected call comes from a Philly club to emcee the weekend sets of personal hero Billy G (Cedric the Entertainer), the piling-up miscues find him treading water in flop sweat... and wishing he'd kept the day job. Incisive inside farce co-stars Alex Moffatt, Debby Ryan, Bill Burr, Ken Jeong, Whitney Cummings, Russell Peters, Iliza Shlesinger. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
