Ride the Eagle (2021)

Leif's estranged mother has died and left her Yosemite cabin to him on the condition that he complete some tasks. Since he's 40ish, plays the bongos in just-getting-started band, and lives in a "tiny house" on the property of the band's manager, this is no small gift. So he decides to take off in his beat-up van with his dog to check things out.

The tasks are, for the most part, therapeutic. She has him call "the one who got away" (a lovely D'Arcy Carden) and to row a boat across the lake. Jake Johnson as Leif is perfect as a man-child with real potential and I couldn't help but root for him. Though it's never laugh-out-loud funny and doesn't contribute anything I've not seen before, it's definitely got charm and I enjoyed it.
