Looking for Palladin

About This Movie

Looking for Palladin is quite the quirky comedy, capturing a unique blend of misadventures in Guatemala. The protagonist, Josh Ross, played by David Moscow, brings a certain brashness that feels somewhat authentic. His mission to find the elusive Jack Palladin, portrayed by the venerable Ben Gazzara, is layered with personal stakes, especially given the history with his mother. The film has this offbeat pacing that often meanders but somehow fits with the comic tone. It’s not your conventional buddy comedy; rather, it explores themes of unresolved family issues and the absurdities of Hollywood. Gazzara’s performance adds depth, grounding the film amidst its more comedic moments. A curious pick for collectors interested in under-the-radar indie comedies with character-driven narratives.
