Brad's Status is a 2017 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Mike White and starring Ben Stiller, Austin Abrams, Michael Sheen, Jenna Fischer, and Luke Wilson.

Brad Sloan runs his own non-profit organization, and lives a comfortable life with his loving wife and son, but cannot help contemplating how his old friends Craig Fisher, Billy Wearslter, Jason Hatfield, and Nick Pascale are rich and accomplished.

Craig works in the White House and published a best-selling book; Jason owns a hedge fund firm; Billy sold a company he founded, moved to Maui, and retired; and Nick is a Hollywood director.

After Troy confesses to him that he aims to get into Harvard, Brad sees this as a way to make up for his lost ambitions.

Brad also reflects about his waning sex life with Melanie and how his wife easily gets satisfied, which he thinks might have undermined his ambitions.

As he is talking, he recognizes that he's lost her admiration; but he goes on about his perceived mistakes in his career, relative to the success of his friends.

Brad then accompanies Troy to Tufts, his alma mater, where he learns his old professor just died.

The beautiful music transports Brad into feeling emotional and reflective, realizing he still loves the things of the world.

At the end of the credits, Brad's imagination wanders back into thinking that his son is busking.
