SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME Young Americans

SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME continues in the comedic tradition of Bob Byington’s 2009 film HARMONY AND ME, albeit with the presence of a mysterious suitcase. There’s something unusual about Max’s story as he is oddly immune to aging, a curious ability that the principal people in his life don’t seem to notice. After Max discovers his ex-wife in bed with another man, he capriciously marries again, the disastrous cycle repeating itself perfectly. As he traipses through life trying to navigate love, friendship with his co-worker and business partner and the turbulent business world, Max clings to the suitcase, which might just possibly contain his personal fountain of youth. With this, his fourth feature, Byington is at the top of his comedic game, crafting memorable characters with a first-rate acting ensemble, including Megan Mullally, Keith Poulson and Jess Weixler.

Bob Byington is an award-winning independent American film director, screenwriter and actor living in Austin, Texas. He is most noted for his films RSO (REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER) and HARMONY AND ME, which the LA Times described as a “collision of joyous whimsy and bittersweet melancholy.”
