Grady is a 50-ish English professor who hasn't had a thing published in years—not since he wrote his award winning 'Great American Novel' 7 years ago. This weekend proves even worse than he could imagine as he finds himself reeling from one misadventure to another in the company of a new wonder boy author.

"An enjoyable coming-of-age story about a student and his professor. The story is fresh and well executed, with a good balance between dark humor and melodramatic sensibilities. Hanson does a great job of bringing out the best in each actor; Robert Downey Jr. stands out largely due to his snarky nature. This movie has a great "late-winter" vibe, writerly writing, and is all together cozy and strange and beautiful."
"Totally took me by surprise. A great dramedy with interesting characters. Great writing and performances especially from Michael Douglas and Tobey Maguire."

"An incredible tale! The story of a professor who wrote a brilliant book and hasn’t produced anything since. His life is a bit stagnant and he might want to tone down the weed, commit to the woman he’s been having an affair with, and grow a pair. The characters in this movie are fantastic, outrageous, and oh so deliciously human. Almost anything that could go wrong does in this hilarious movie. "
