About Who Invited Charlie? (2023) — A pandemic comedy that spirals when an old friend overstays his welcome
When the world locked down in early 2020, hedge fund hotshot Phil Schreiber thought a quiet escape to the Hamptons would let his family breathe easier. But what Phil didn't count on was his old college roommate Charlie crashing the party with his trademark brand of reckless, over-the-top charm. Xavier Manrique's sharp New York comedy, *Who Invited Charlie? (2023)*, turns a pandemic-era vacation into a pressure cooker of secrets and selfishness, where one uninvited guest exposes more than just the cracks in Phil's carefully curated life. With a biting wit and a cast that knows how to sell the chaos, this film captures the absurdity of trying to outrun a global crisis while dodging your own demons.
Beneath the laughs lies a story about privilege, panic, and the people who show up when you least expect them—and least want them. Set against the backdrop of those early pandemic days, the Hamptons become more than a vacation spot; they're a pressure point where every character's flaws collide. Manrique balances the humor with just enough tension to make you wonder who's going to crack first, all while Adam Pally and Jordana Brewster bring a recognizable relatability to the chaos.
