Stretch (2014)
Rated R
Starring Patrick Wilson, Ed Helms, Chris Pine, Brooklyn Decker, Jessica Alba
Directed by Joe Carnahan
The Story:
Stretch (Wilson) is a down on his luck limo driver who owes a lot of money to a bookie, and if he doesn't pay it off tonight...well, things are going to get ugly. Luckily, his fare for the evening is Roger Karos (Pine) who makes Stretch a deal. If he can run a few errands for him, then his tip will pay off the debt and Stretch will be free and clear. Somehow, it's not going to be that easy...
This is a crazy ride to be sure.
That Stretch came to LA to be an actor, he'll get to finally hone those skills during his adventures this evening.
He's also accompanied by Karl (Helms) who is the ghost of his mentor. Or Stretch's conscience, if Jiminy Cricket were an overbearing jerk. :)
If you ever saw Smokin' Aces and enjoyed it, then Carnahan brings more of his wit and craziness to the table for you.
You'll get sucked in watching things go from bad to worse for Stretch, and wonder what the heck just happened when it's all over.

Currently streaming on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: C+
