Did you ever watch a movie where you have a pretty good idea of what’s going to happen at the end, but you just keep watching because you are so attached to the characters that it doesn’t really matter? That’s exactly what happened to me while I was watching “The King of Staten Island”, the new movie by Judd Apatow.
It’s a comedy-drama with a storyline that we’ve all seen before many times, sort of a semi-biographical coming-of-age film, as an adaptation of the life of Pete Davidson, who you may be used to seeing more often at SNL. Don’t let the whole “he spends his days smoking weed and dreaming of being a tattoo artist” on the synopsis take you away from a really sweet and emotional journey.
