“A crude but consistently funny half-hour that appears to be a bull’s-eye with the channel’s male-skewing audience. Like TBS’ “My Boys.”
The topnotch ensemble includes Pete (Mark Duplass), who consistently wins the fantasy league crown while suffering through a quarrelsome marriage; Kevin (Stephen Rannazzisi), whose wife Jenny (Katie Aselton) secretly helps develop his team’s draft strategies; the sexually frustrated Ruxin (Nick Kroll), whose wife (“My Name Is Earl’s” Nadine Velazquez) is withholding sex after having a baby; and Andre (Paul Scheer), a plastic surgeon whom the other guys constantly abuse.
“The League” also features Mark’s wife (and co-star of “Puffy Chair”) Katie Aselton. Awesome.

indieWIRE covered the fest earlier this year.. The New York Times rans an awesome piece a few summers ago.
The Rooftop gang put on one of the best film series in the city, offering an avalanche of awesome indie films culled from the festival circuit that you’d be hard pressed to see anywhere else. With great outdoor venues sprinkled through the boroughs, Rooftop offers a great outdoor summer series with something for everyone.

Film opens October 30. I am there… Trailer hits tomorrow.
