Here Today is a 2021 American comedy-drama film directed and produced by Billy Crystal, from a screenplay that he wrote with Alan Zweibel.

It stars Crystal, Tiffany Haddish, Penn Badgley, Laura Benanti, and Louisa Krause.

Charlie Burnz is walking to work, having to remind himself of the directions, demonstrating that his memory isn't strong.

Meeting Emma Payge, she explains her cheating ex-boyfriend won the auction as Charlie is his hero.

Interviewed by Bob Costas with the film's director Barry Levinson and lead actors Sharon Stone and Kevin Kline, Charlie forgets the names of his fellow panelists, playing it off as a joke.

Afterwards, he explains the unfinished novel she saw is meant to be a memoir celebrating his life with his late wife Carrie and his children Rex and Francine.

Angry at the cast member who can't enunciate properly, thereby ruining jokes with his poor performance, Charlie walks onstage.

Although everyone initially thinks Charlie was simply engaged in brilliant improv, it soon becomes apparent that he is unwell.

Emma rushes to the studio after seeing the live show, explaining Charlie's situation.

She tearfully explains that she overheard Francine blame Charlie for Carrie's death behind his back.

The website's consensus reads: "Here Today's well-matched stars share an infectious chemistry that's almost enough to overcome a frequently mushy mix of comedy and drama.

[12] Writing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman called the film "both winning and mushy" and said: "What's good about the movie is that Crystal, who co-wrote and directed it, has an inside knowledge of the showbiz comedy world… the prickly vivacity with which he portrays it roots the movie in something real.
