DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT OPENING AT THE CINEMA ART THEATER
Starting on August 10th, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT, a life-affirming dramatic comedy based upon the memoir of the same name by John Callahan.
John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix) has a lust for life, a talent for off-color jokes, and a drinking problem. When an all-night bender ends in a catastrophic car accident, the last thing he intends to do is give up drinking. But when he reluctantly enters treatment—with encouragement from his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and a charismatic sponsor (Jonah Hill)—Callahan discovers a gift for drawing edgy, irreverent newspaper cartoons that develop an international following and grant him a new lease on life. Based on a true story, this poignant, insightful and often funny drama about the healing power of art is adapted from Callahan's autobiography and directed by two-time Oscar® nominee Gus Van Sant. Jack Black, Carrie Brownstein, Beth Ditto and Kim Gordon also star. [2018, US, Runtime: 113 minutes, Rated: R].
Justin Chang of “The Los Angeles Times” praises the film for its, “warmth, humor…and a rich vein of personal feeling”. David Rooney of “The Hollywood Reporter” calls the film, “consistently enjoyable… notable for its generosity of spirit and gentleness”.
