Bryan Cranston and Steve Carell head up the cast as two old friends who recruit old acquaintance-turned-pastor Laurence Fishburne on an unexpected trip to New York City. The trip's purpose? So Carell's character has company at his son's funeral.

Linklater, whose credits include the Before... trilogy, Boyhood and Everybody Wants Some!!, has co-written the film's script alongside Darryl Poniscan, adapting from the latter's very own novel.
The film will receive its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on 28 September with a limited US release following on 3 November.
