Funny, quirky and a little dramatic too!
I found myself inadvertently drawn into this film while flicking through T. V. channels. Aaron Eckhart plays the tile lead "Bill", and he is obviously going through some kind of middle aged crisis right from the get-go. His wife Jess, played by the gorgeous Elizabeth Banks, is having an affair with local T. V. journalist and all-round narcissistic asshole Chip Johnson, played by Todd Louiso. In the midst of this depressing scenario, Bill finds himself suddenly committed to mentoring a 15 year old boy, played brilliantly by Logan Lerman at his former prep school. Added to this there is Sales Assistant Lucy, played charmingly by the delightful Jessica Alba. The latter 2 play a key role in the transformation of a steadily faltering character, in Bill. With lots of potential here the script doesn't quite follow suit. The film seems to end too quickly leaving unresolved relationships which we are left to ponder over?
