The feature film MANNY LEWIS is the brainchild of Australia’s favourite comedian, Carl Barron. It follows the story of a stand-up comedian Manny Lewis who connects with millions of fans but finds it hard to connect to one person. Manny struggles to overcome his sense of alienation and shyness, and a difficult relationship with his father, in a romantic and feel-good quest for the love of the quirky Maria.

Carl Barron's brand of moody introspection and manufactured romance is unlikely to connect with old fans or win over many new ones.

Manny Lewis is a bittersweet, utterly charming romantic comedy, and Carl Barron is a delight.
