What would you do if a script that you’ve never seen before fell from the sky into your living room? And that script just so happened to the screenplay for “Good Will Hunting”? Oh, and it’s 1995 and you’re Matt Damon or Ben Affleck and you’re definitely not famous yet. Would you try to make the movie and keep its origin a secret? Would you pick a fight with your best friend? Or would you keep chugging along as if none of this ever happened?
That’s exactly the question asked in “Matt and Ben,” a hilarious hourlong comedy written by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers. Starring Genevieve Lerner and Spring Ferrara and directed by Matt Downs, “Matt and Ben” is a buddy comedy like you’ve never seen before–it’s between two women, for starters.
You can expect so-so guitar playing, very fictionalized versions of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (and perhaps some other celebs?), and a vintage computer that hopefully lasts through the entire run. Oh, and snacks. Lots of snacks.
“Matt and Ben” is a great way to cool down (or heat up? You tell us) on toasty summer nights. Escape North Hollywood for the evening and come hang out with us in the Boston suburbs for some laughs and an exploration of friendship. Source
