Commercial director Noam Murro makes the leap to feature films with this comedy drama concerning an aging professor-turned-bitter eccentric due to the death of his longtime wife. Ever since his wife passed away, Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) has become overly acerbic and self-absorbed. He's alienated his son (Ashton Holmes) and transformed his daughter (Ellen Page) into a friendless overachiever. Now, at the precise moment Lawrence thought he had finally figured it all out, his life comes crashing down all around him as he falls for a former student (Sarah Jessica Parker) and his shiftless adopted brother (Thomas Haden Church) comes knocking on the door in search of a place to stay. Though Lawrence always relied on his intelligence to get him out of life's little jams in the past, it's going to take quite a bit more than intellectual thinking to move past this sticky stage in his suddenly chaotic life. David Denman and Christine Lahti co-star in this romantic comedy drama, which serves as the screenwriting debut of Goats and Modern Ranch Living author Mark Jude Poirier. Jason Buchanan, Rovi

the movie starts slow with a lot of history revealed but if you stick with it it all unfolds and is powerful.

Quirky, funny drama
We loved this movie! The story is about a college professor whose wife has died, his daughter (played wonderfully by Juno's Ellen Page), his deadbeat brother who comes to live with them (Church in his funniest role yet), and his new dating interest (Sarah Jessica Parker). Quaid is wonderful as a depressed teacher - in fact everyone in the cast is superb. We recommended this to friends who didn't like it as much as we did. But we bought it to watch again.
