Charlie & Boots: comedy for the heart

Paul ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Hogan and Shane ‘Kenny’ Jacobson are not synonimous with films that require audiences to BYO tissue box, but Charlie & Boots might change that. Laine Lister writes.

Charlie & Boots, directed and co-written by Dean Murphy, is the story of a father and estranged son who rebuild their relationship on the road in the wake of a family tragedy.

“It is a heartfelt comedy or dramedy,” agrees producer Shana Levine, unwilling to pigeonhole the film in a single genre.
