Who Invited Charlie?

[Screened Oct. 8 and 9 at the 30th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival.] Xavier Manrique's quirky, offbeat, sporadically humorous, well-acted, low-key, down-to-earth, 101-minute comedy in which a stressed-out, struggling New York City hedge fund manager (Reid Scott), who is losing clients to an unscrupulous business associate, heads to the Hamptons with his wife (Jordana Brewster) and 16-year-old son (Peter Dager) during the COVID pandemic and when his jealous, weed-smoking, loose-lipped college roommate (Adam Pally), who is a middle school gym teacher, unexpectedly shows up, tensions escalate as devastating secrets are revealed and relationships are in jeopardy.
