#NetflixSunday: The Late Bloomer

A late-night comedy that will have you laughing and thankful you’re not this guy…

The Late Bloomer (Comedy; 2016)

Can you imagine how much you’d get done if you’d never gone through puberty and developed a sex drive? Well that’s exactly what’s happened for Dr. Peter Newmans (Johnny Simmons). He’s a successful 27 year old sex therapist who, until recently, never realized he suffered from a benign brain tumor that has kept him from going through puberty. Having no fixation on sex has allowed him to write a popular book and develop an extremely successful career. Once he finds out about the tumor, he can’t help but wonder what he’s been missing. The tumor is removed and things get…let’s just say, sexy. Not necessarily in a good way, either.

A strong ensemble of recognizable actors, Kumail Nanjiani of Silicon Valley, Beck Bennett of SNL and Mario Bello of ER, all lend strong performances for a fun ride. This is the perfect movie to watch with your buddies and drink a few beers. If you’re watching it on a date, be sure it’s at LEAST the 3rd date, as there’s some strong sexual and potentially awkward relationship vibes.

3.5/5 Stars
