14 DAY TRIAL // “Why Stop Now?” made its first outing at this year's Sundance Film Festival in January, where it was received with warm reviews, especially because of Jesse Eisenberg's performance.
It's now getting ready for a limited US release in August this year; hence, the trailer above.
Eisenberg plays a piano prodigy forced to fend for his family because of his mother's (Melissa Leo) drug addiction. He even offers to pay for her rehab.
“A glitch in the system forces them to enlist the help of an unlikely ally, her drug dealer Sprinkles [Tracy Morgan,” says the official synopsis.
“Circumstances conspire that turn them into a comical yet determined band of collaborators who are forced to deal with their internal demons over the course of the day,” it adds.
Described as part drama part comedy, “Why Stop Now?” reportedly boasts of Eisenberg's most solid performance to date, including the one in “The Social Network.”
Basically, at this point, Eisenberg can do no wrong.
