For years this joke was best put to use when referencing ego-driven actors aching to make the leap to the director\u2019s chair. Nowadays it\u2019s getting even bigger laughs when linked to small screen executive producers with entitlement issues. \u201cThe X-Files\u2018\u201d R. W. Goodwin (\u201cAlien Trespass\u201d), \u201cLost\u2018s\u201d J.J. Abrams (\u201cStar Trek\u201d) and \u201cThe West Wing\u2018s\u201d John Wells (\u201cThe Company Men\u201d) all took the plunge and now Richard Levine\u2019s (\u201cNip\/Tuck\u201d) name can be added to the list of auteur wannabes.<\/p>\n

Having never watched an episode of \u201cStar Trek,\u201d I can\u2019t vouch for the quality of Abrams\u2019 recent big screen update, but if the other three crossovers are any indication it\u2019s damn near impossible for the money men to swim clear of the wellspring.<\/p>\n

Ned (Liev Schreiber) is a frustrated artist forced by fate (and a mortgage) to write for a vulgar sitcom which pays him handsomely to come up with fresh spins on sodomy and bestiality jokes. \u201cSex with one\u2019s dog is the new sex with one\u2019s cat,\u201d spouts a colleague during a writing session. His boss\u2019s (the electrifyingly crude Eddie Izzard) daily affirmation is \u201cI don\u2019t give a (bleep) about \u2018unrelatability\u2019 as long as it is shocking!\u201d Right now Ned is more concerned with how he\u2019s going to deny his teenage son Jonah\u2019s (Ezra Miller) pleas to attend a gay college prom\u2014overprotective dad fears that an oversexed jock might put the moves on his oldest boy\u2014and the prospects of his cantankerous, widowed father-in-law Ernie (Brian Dennehy) about to move in with the family.<\/p>\n

With a screen that\u2019s wider than 100-inches in diameter as his canvas, one would hope that even a TV mentality would rejoice in all the extra space afforded them instead of playing out gags in a manner resembling a jackhammer. When Jeannie (Helen Hunt) wheels her father through the airport the camera deliberately zeroes in on incontinent Ernie\u2019s soiled trousers. No sooner does Ned meet them at the gate, the same gag is played out in an identical manner just in case you missed it the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Day\u201d is not without its share of insightful moments and the cast\u2014particularly Schreiber and the perpetually underused Denney\u2014does its best to elevate the formulaic material, but this is another film that would consider itself a failure were it not for its ability to make audiences feel like crap. Ernie\u2019s bitter, profane (and lame) asides are as close as we get to comic relief as sorrow quickly piles upon tragedy leaving an unrelentingly depressing soap opera in its wake.<\/p>\n

“Every Day” is currently playing an exclusive engagement at Reading Cinemas Gaslamp 15.<\/p>\n
