Folks buying a ticket to Ashby hoping to see a film about the late-great director of Being There and Harold and Maude are about to be sorely disappointed. So is everyone else. Written and directed by Tony McNamara, this coming-of-age story about a high school misfit (Nat Wolff) who befriends his crotchety next-door neighbor who just happens to be an ex-assassin (Mickey Rourke) is a schmaltzy shambles. I didn’t buy any of it for a second. You won’t either.
