So where does that leave the “Unbearable…” ? Finding THOSE kinds of comedies is rare nowadays because most comedies forego chemistry for crudity and cheapness. If the comedic chemistry between characters is heartfelt, true, and not overly crass (I’ll get there, I promise), you can have a downright amazing film. True comedic gold can be found in films where the comedy is genuine and where the chemistry between characters can be felt on the screen.

What does the CIA want with Nick? They want Nick to spy on Javi, gain his trust, find the Spanish diplomat, and stop Javi’s plan. At first, Nick’s hesitant, but since he doesn’t have many golden opportunities right now, he agrees to at least fly out and see what the deal is.Īs time progresses, Javi and Nick develop a bit of a friendship, that is until the CIA pick up Nick on the street one day and tell him who Javi really is, the head of the Guiteriez crime family, responsible for the kidnapping of a female Spanish diplomat in an effort to overthrow the government. He’s evening offering Nick a cool $1 million to star in the film. Nick’s agent, Richard ( Neil Patrick Harris), informs him that a wealthy client, Javi ( Pedro Pascal), wants to fly him out to Spain to star in a film he’s written.

He is so desperate to relive his glory days that it’s even affecting his personal life and his relationship with his daughter in the process. But Nick feels like his time as an actor might be coming to a close, perhaps, as he is receiving fewer and fewer opportunities to showcase his talents. He’s arguably one of the most cherished actors of his time, having spent 40 years in a variety of roles. Almost everyone knows his name or has seen at least one of his films.
