We have the latest trailer for Growing Up & Other Lies, the second feature from the writing-directing duo behind Humboldt County, Danny Jacobs and Darren Grodsky. Starring Adam Brody, Wyatt Cenac, Josh Lawson, and Danny Jacobs as a group of friends seeking out good times by traveling across the 260 blocks of New York before one of them leaves behind the Big Apple in search of stability in Ohio. Of course, there are romantic entanglements and unaired grievances that get in their way. It should be interesting to get a glimpse of Wyatt Cenac in a leading role, considering my familiarity with him extends to his stand-up work and his time on The Daily Show. Here’s hoping the finished film finds more balance between its comedic elements and that ukulele loving indie sentimentality than the trailer which leans heavy on the sentiment.
Growing Up & Other Lies opens in select theaters and streaming through most VOD platforms on March 20th, 2015.
