Josh Reviews Self Reliance
In the opening minutes of Self Reliance, we meet Tommy (Jake Johnson), a single man living a solitary life. He works out, he goes to work and sits in front of a computer, he eats meals alone. But his lonely routine is interrupted when a limo pulls up beside him one day and Andy Sa
