Brit Emma Mackey of “Barbie” and “Death on the Nile” has the title role, a 34 year old governor with family issues. Kumail Nanjiani, Albert Brooks, Jamie Lee Curtis and Woody Harrelson flesh out an all-star cast. Julie Kavner narrates, completing the Brooks/Fleetwood Mac/early “Simpsons” nostalgia link (his salad days were the ’80s and ’90s).

Let’s be blunt. “As Good As It Gets” was a long time ago, and Brooks hasn’t produced a winner since — 28 years.

Dec. 12, maybe his luck will change.
