9/10
Would have given it 10 stars if not for the ending.

This movie had me laughing out loud in the theater. There was so many brilliant scenes in it, too numerous to name here. Jeffrey Wright was absolutely brilliant in this role. He walked a fine line between being uncomfortably rigid and somebody who you felt great empathy for. Sterling K Brown stole every scene he was in as the brother. Leslie Uggams can do no wrong and is still beautiful. I also thought Erika Alexander was perfect as his girlfriend. His publisher, played by Miriam Shor, was note perfect and hilarious. The script had so many quotable lines that I need to see it again. The only problem I had was the ending. There were so many better ways to end it. Don't let that stop you. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
