Standing Up, Falling Down

Standing Up, Falling Down (2020) is a comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Matt Ratner and starring Billy Crystal alongside Ben Schwartz. A failed stand-up comic slinks back to Long Island after years of going nowhere in Los Angeles — broke, humbled, and living in his parents' house again.

By chance he meets a charming but hard-drinking dermatologist who has his own pile of quiet disasters. Two men who didn't become who they planned to be, finding an unlikely camaraderie over bad habits and worse jokes. Crystal brings a dry, lived-in warmth that keeps the film honest — it earns its laughs without pretending that second chances come easy. Stream Standing Up, Falling Down (2020) online on iFILM.
