Lousy Carter is a 2023 American comedy film written, directed, and produced by Bob Byington and starring David Krumholtz in the title role.
Lousy Carter (Krumholtz) was once an acclaimed animator as a young man, but has settled into his middle-aged life as a mediocre college literature professor with a cantankerous personality. When visiting the doctor, he learns that he only has six months to live due to a terminal illness. Rather than trying to turn his life around, he tells no one about his diagnosis and simply continues on with his unexceptional life and failed relationships. [3] [4]
Jay Duplass was originally set to star before dropping out and being replaced by David Krumholtz. [5] The film was shot in 15 days in December 2021, primarily at the Baker Center in Austin, Texas. [5] [6]
After premiering at the 76th Locarno Film Festival, the film was acquired by Magnolia Pictures for domestic distribution. [7] The film was released in the United States on March 29, 2024. [8]
Lousy Carter received generally positive reviews from critics, with a 77% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. [9]
