The story of Eli Smith Jesse Eisenberg , a piano prodigy, dealing with his troubled mother, Penny Melissa Leo , and enlisting help from a hapless drug dealer, Sprinkles Tracy Morgan , on the day he has an audition for a prestigious music program.

Events spiral comically out of control as this gang of misfits faces the mistakes of the past, the challenges of the future, and the possibilities of love. A funny thing happened on the way to rehab. Rated R for language throughout, and drug content.

Phil Dorling Screenwriter. Add your rating. Eli Jesse Eisenberg is a piano prodigy whose dreams of attending college were derailed by his mother's drug problem. Now he's lined up a big audition for a prestigious music conservatory that could help him reclaim his life, but first he's got to take his mom Melissa Leo to rehab.

Unfortunately there's a snag when she checks in, and then there's another complication, and then another, and soon Eli's having the worst day ever, involving a drug dealer Tracy Morgan , a mishap with narcotics, a hand injury, and a group of Revolutionary War reenactors. With this string of disasters, it's not clear whether he'll make it to the audition, or whether he'll even be able to play when he gets there.

The central problem isn't the cast; the stars are all in fine form. Morgan, for starters, shows more depth than he's usually entrusted with. One particular scene at a high school reminds the audience that he has a backstory, and it's worth knowing. As Eli's mother, Leo is a complicated train wreck, and Eisenberg is perfectly twitchy and uncomfortable; we feel genuine sympathy for his Eli as the conflagrations that require his tending pile up.

Nonetheless, the pile-ups strain credibility, not only because they're colossal but there are just so many -- too many -- of them. And try as the filmmakers might to imbue the familial cost that addiction racks up with new insight, it's a difficult endeavor. The movie doesn't add anything to the conversation, as interesting its attempt may be. Families can talk about how Why Stop Now portrays addiction. How has Eli's mother's addiction affected his life? Do you think these are realistic consequences?

How does the media typically portray drug addiction? What about alcohol? How is drinking depicted here? Do you think Eli has a drinking problem? Do you think this movie is more of a comedy or a drama?
