Brad’s Status

FRI. 9/15, R ★★★✩✩

A family man (Ben Stiller) can’t help but compare his life to the flashier lives of his old college pals: A Hollywood hot shot (Mike White), a hedgefund founder (Luke Wilson), a tech whiz (Jemaine Clement), and a political pundit (Michael Sheen). This coming-ofmiddle-age comedy questions cultural value systems with bittersweet and funny results.
