Let Go is a 2011 American film directed by Brian Jett, starring David Denman, Gillian Jacobs, and Kevin Hart. It is a dark comedy that tells the story of a group of people who are all struggling with personal issues and find a way to connect and help each other despite their differences. The film begins with the introduction of Walter Dishman (David Denman), a former parole officer who has just been released from prison after serving time for a DUI accident. Struggling to get his life back on track, he finds himself working as a parking attendant and living with his mother. His ex-girlfriend, Trish (Amy Pietz), is also constantly harassing him and trying to get him back.

As he tries to deal with his new reality, he meets a group of people who are all going through their own personal struggles. Among them are Darla DeMint (Gillian Jacobs), a young woman who has just been fired from her job at a gay bookstore and is struggling to support her daughter; Kris Styles (Kevin Hart), a lovable loser who is desperately trying to make it as a musician; and Artie (Ed Asner), a retired man who is feeling lonely and disconnected from his family.

Despite their differences, the group begins to bond over their shared struggles and find comfort in each other's company. Walter becomes a father figure to Darla's daughter and begins to form a close bond with Darla herself. Kris and Walter team up to create a music video that might give Kris his big break, while Artie's relationship with his estranged daughter begins to mend.

As the group's relationships deepen, they all begin to confront their personal issues head-on. Walter finally stands up to Trish and takes control of his life, while Darla confronts her ex-boyfriend about his treatment of her. Kris realizes that he needs to focus on his own identity instead of relying on others to define him, and Artie comes to terms with his own mortality.

The film is a touching exploration of the struggles that people face in their everyday lives and the ways in which they can find connection and support through their relationships with others. The performances are excellent, particularly Denman and Jacobs, who bring a lot of depth and nuance to their characters. Hart also shines as the lovable and hilarious Kris, while Asner brings a quiet dignity to his role as the wise and kind-hearted Artie.

Overall, Let Go is a heartwarming and uplifting film that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or disconnected from the world around them. It is a testament to the power of human connection and the ways in which we can find meaning and purpose in our relationships with others.
