My Blind Brother (2016)
Bill has been living in the shadow of brother Robbie -- a blind local celebrity who completes sports-centered challenges for charity -- for more than 20 years. When the girl that Bill has a crush on starts working for then dating Robbie, Bill knows it's time for a change.
Kroll and Slate are extremely winning as the made-for-each other couple. Zoe Kazan as the best friend is also perfect. The script, however, makes Robbie TOO unlikable and refuses to just let us enjoy a full belly-laugh before laying on the angst. All of the pieces are there for this to have been something great, but it underwhelms.
