Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, The

[Opens April 22 in theaters.] When down-on-his-luck, heavy-drinking actor Nicolas Cage (Nicolas Cage), who is estranged from his ex-wife (Sharon Horgan) and teenage daughter (Lily Mo Sheen), reluctantly accepts an offer by his longtime agent (Neil Patrick Harris) to attend a birthday party in Mallorca, Spain, of a billionaire diehard fan (Pedro Pascal), who pines for a gorgeous woman (Alessandra Mastronardi) from afar, for $1 million and the actor is then recruited by two CIA agents (Tiffany Haddish and Isaac Barinholtz) who believe he is an international arms dealer and wants Nic to gather evidence and to learn the whereabouts of a teenage kidnapped victim (Anna McDonald) in Tom Gormican's hilariously funny, action-packed, entertaining, well-written, fast-paced, unpredictable, star-studded (Demi Moore, David Gordon, Joanna Bobin, Jacob Scipio, Björn Freiberg, Ricard Balada, and Christine Grace Szarko), 105-minute comedy, he finds himself becoming buddies with his charming host who is anxious for Nic to read his screenplay and perhaps star in the film despite the objections of his suspicious, duplicitous cousin (Paco León).
