KING OF STATEN ISLAND is good

 

On TV we saw the movie Pete Davidson’s THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND.  When it first came out the streaming price was a little outrageous but finally came down.

Of Course, you know Pete Davidson is one of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’s crew – right?

In the credits Pete wore many hats in the producing the movie.

I think he more or less played his real self.  He really lives on Statin Island and his real father was really a fireman who really did die on the job.

Pete and his pals of the same age, in their 20s, were irresponsible and immature.  They were not above breaking into drug stores for cash and drugs either. 

But everything was done and said in a humorous way.

And believe it or not it has a Disney inspirational charm about it but soaked in realism.

Good movie!
