MPI Home Video has announced that the dramedy WHY STOP NOW, directed by Phil Dorling and Ron Nyswaner and starring Jesse Eisenberg, Melissa Leo, Tracy Morgan, Isiah Whitlock, Jr. and Sarah Ramos, will be available on Blu-ray December 11th, 2012.
WHY STOP NOW follows a piano prodigy named Eli Bloom (Jesse Eisenberg) who is on his way to the most important audition of his life, but has to take a detour and drop off his mother Penny (Melissa Leo) at a drug rehabilitation center first. However, before Penny can be admitted, she must test positive and the two must take another detour to visit her dealer Sprinkles (Tracy Morgan).
WHY STOP NOW only opened on three screens this past August, which would be why you probably haven’t heard of it. It only grossed $1,641, which is pretty terrible considering you have one of the bigger young actors today (Jesse Eisenberg), an Academy Award winner (Melissa Leo) and a comedian who is on a hit television show (Tracy Morgan) headlining your film. Take that information as you will and check this out at your own risk.
