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.
