Four-time Emmy-nominated actor Matthew Perry, along with Academy Award®-winner
Mary Steenburgen and actor/comedian Kevin Pollak, star in the romantic
comedy “Numb,” which
will be released on DVD and digital May 13 by Image Entertainment
(NASDAQ:DISK). In addition to the home entertainment and digital rights,
Image also has secured the broadcast, pay-per-view and VOD rights to the
film.
Writer/Director Harris Goldberg (“Deuce
Bigelow: European Gigolo”) tells his
tragically funny, autobiographical story through Hudson Milbank (Matthew
Perry), a depressed screenwriter who is diagnosed with “depersonalization
disorder,” which is a sense that everything
around him is unreal. Desperate to feel like himself again, Hudson seeks
out every therapy imaginable, running the L.A. shrink circuit as he
plummets further into the depths of hopelessness and detachment.
As he struggles to cope by watching the soothing Golf Channel,
shoplifting to get a shot of adrenaline and surviving a cognitive
behaviorist with her own issues (played brilliantly by Mary
Steenburgen), Hudson’s long suffering writing
partner (Kevin Pollak, “A Few Good Men,”
“The Usual Suspects”)
fears they’ll never work again. Things start
to change when Hudson meets Sara (Lynn Collins, “The
Lake House”), whose relaxed ways and
big-hearted spirit make his race to recovery imperative. But even then
his relationship becomes threatened by his powerlessness to take on life’s
risks as he seeks out more extreme measures to get better. He knows she
can save him, and she knows he has to save himself.
