CGiii Comment
Cumming has come a long way from his humble beginning...remember the flight attendant 'comedy'?
Apart from the X-Men money-maker, super-stardom seems to be an unattainable quest and, that is strictly down to his somewhat erratic choices.
Now, turning his hand to directing - not a wise career decision, not a good choice of material.
This is a high-octane frenzy of words that will leave you with an excruciating brain tumour.
And, where exactly is the comedy in this comedy?

The(ir) Blurb...
John Vandermark (Cumming) has taken in a struggling writer, Sebastian St. Germain (Boreanaz), who overstays his welcome. When John discovers that Sebastian has simply been using him, he turns the tables on his young tenant in an effort to make him work off his rent debt. When Sebastian dies accidentally in the process, John tries to make it up to him by helping him get his book published posthumously. When the book is published, John can't help but take credit for the work of genius... and Sebastian comes back to haunt him.
