Funny Bones
Comedy. It's in the timing. It's in the material. But mostly, it's in the bones.
Directed by Peter Chelsom
Produced by Hollywood Pictures
A comedy about inherited talent and redemption that blends humor with melancholy reflection on family legacy and artistic failure.
Tommy Fawkes wants to be a successful comedian. After his Las Vegas debut is a failure, he returns to Blackpool where his father—also a comedian—started, and where he spent the summers of his childhood.
