Review

Director Wayne Price’s docu-style comedy follows a hilariously bitchy Manhattan doorman (Lucas Akoskin) who agrees to be tailed by the cameras, only to find them capturing his subsequent fall from grace and descent into obscurity. With cameos by Amy Sacco, Peter Bogdanovich, Patrick McMullan, and many others, it’s almost a roaring Ali G–style success—though the fun peters out as his self-confidence dwindles.—Sara Cardace
