Are You Here is the story of two friends, one is a T.V. weather man (played by Owen Wilson) that for some reason hides what he does from his friend, and the other is a guy that basically lives as a shut in. (played by Zack Galifinakis) Owen basically spends his time bouncing from woman to woman and tossing Zack money when he needs to so Zack can live his life.
One day Zack shows up at Owens work and is mistaken for a homeless man and informs Owen that his father has died. After a road trip and the weird purchase of some seafood to save its life, Zack discovers he just inherited a little bit of money. Around two and a half million dollars worth of a little money.
This starts a small family feud and some seemingly strange plans, and the realization that Zack may have some sort of mental issue that needs to be taken care of. While not the comedy I was expecting but it was still a great movie. I didn’t expect these two to play such a great serious role but they pull it off, and I hope this isn’t the last time we see it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you greatness.
