‘Adult Beginners’ can’t deliver laughs or on its premise
Narcissistic entrepreneur Jake (Nick Kroll) has the world thoroughly in his grasp; his company’s next product launch is in days and he can smell the proverbial success everywhere around him.

If this were an Oliver Stone film Jake would cash in despite his undeserved arrogance, but this isn’t one of those movies.
