‘Here Today’ review: Nobody asked for a Billy Crystal dementia comedy
Billy Crystal plays Charlie Berns, a renowned writer of TV, films and Broadway plays whose heyday was in the 1970s and ’80s. Now, he’s a respected old fogey with a gig writing for a cable sketch show called “This Just In.” It airs on the “Funny Channel” — a misnomer if there ever was one.No wonder the overlong movie directed by Crystal doesn’t get laughs, because “Here Today” is also a dementia drama.
