The actor plays a traveling salesman whose job pushing timeshares on the moon pulls him back into the orbit of his estranged son (Nicholas Podany).
Billy Crudup, Haneefah Wood, Hank Azaria, Nicholas Podany, Dewshane Williams, Alison PillJack understands better than most the appeal of simply running away from one’s problems. At the point we meet him, he’s been away from his family for so long that the son he last saw at age two is now a grown man with no recollection of him at all.
As a protagonist, Jack has a bit of Don Draper in him — the silver tongue, the marquee-worthy looks, the gift for spinning irresistible bullshit — and Crudup is well-cast as a man who’s spent his adult life simultaneously getting away with things and living in fear that someday he won’t. But his potential as an all-American antihero is shortchanged by a script whose broadness renders him opaque.
The crew surrounding Jack are drawn with even less detail than he is. Most are defined by a single stubborn obsession — Herb’s ambition, Eddie’s gambling addiction, etc. In combination with a tone that gestures toward black comedy without quite reaching it, they become cartoonish; even the typically excellent Alison Pill can only do so much to turn Myrtle, a disgruntled Brightside customer, into much more than a caricature of a 1950s housewife who’s finally snapped.
