SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Struggling attorney Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti), who volunteers as a high-school wrestling coach, takes on the guardianship of an elderly client in a desperate attempt to keep his practice afloat. When the client’s teenage grandson runs away from home and shows up on his grandfather’s doorstep, Mike’s life is turned upside down as his win-win proposition turns into something much more complicated than he ever bargained for.

Premiere at Sundance Film Festival 2011.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"You have a funny situation, and there's some truth in it and unexpected characters, well-acted, and you may not have a great film but you enjoy watching it. (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"McCarthy has a rare ability to make familiar situations seem fresh in an era when many so-called indie films have become as predictable and formulaic as their big-budget brethren (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Lou Lumenick: New York Post)

----------------------------------------
"This movie wins you over, head and heart, without cheating. It's just about perfect (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
