Who's in It: Ray Romano, Tom Caltabiano, Roger La Jr.
The Basics: Romano drives around from stand-up gig to stand-up gig. Then he eats at Subway. Then he watches golf on TV. Then he tries to eat at Subway again, but the line's too long, so he goes next door to a Chinese place for takeout. Then he drives some more. It's like Gerry for people who've already got all the seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond on DVD.
What's the Deal? Maybe I should clarify when I say I like movies in which nothing happens. So I'll do that now. If it's directed by Gus Van Sant or Jim Jarmusch or cool Malaysian filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang, then I am totally OK with watching lots of nothing go down. But if it's Romano looking peeved that people are asking for his autograph, and then being treated to a dashboard-mounted camera shot of him getting lost on the freeway, and it's all being shot by his young intern, then hell to the no.
Bill Cosby Wants His Jokes Back: From watching the actual stand-up bits interspersed between all the trips to Subway, I learned that, wow, having kids sure is crazy. They say the darndest things, don't they? And as for sex, well, once you have kids, you can kiss that goodbye. Don't get me started!
The Parts That Are Actually Interesting: Romano muses on the nature of how people can't really know you when you're famous, and how it's impossible not to come off like a jerk sometimes. Then there's his fear of flying, which is what prompted this trip and movie in the first place. That's kind of fascinating, too. OK, not really.

1. You are related to Ray Romano.
2. You are Ray Romano's stalker.
3. You are Ray Romano, and you want to see which of your jokes still kill.
