Without telling anyone, The Lonely Island released a new film entitled I Used to Go Here. Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Shaffer produced a movie about a young writer on the tail-end of her newly released fiction novel. The main character, played by Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love), returns to her alma mater after her book tour is cancelled due to do a reading done for a class taught by her former professor, played by Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Concords, Moana). Jacobs’s character spends her time with a group of current college students, while she stays in a bed and breakfast across the street and realizes the writing world is different than she would like it to be.
This movie is similar to many other Lonely Island Productions. Like a movie I reviewed earlier this year, Palm Springs, the comedic trio found a writer who has a screenplay that is well-balanced with humor and morosity. Then by attaching their cinematography smarts to the words, they create a great piece of work that is never overstated. It is a great watch for those who work in the creative arts, and for those who know nothing about it.
