Description
Based on the novel by Michael Chabon, it tells the story of Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas), a professor/writer living in Pittsburgh who is struggling with apparent writer's block (as far as people around him could tell). This is director Curtis Hanson's first film since "L.A. Confidential", and it's just as brilliant although in a very different way. Hanson weaves a stupendously rich and yet unconstrained tapestry of interconnecting characters and plots which moves at a deliberate pace. Michael Douglas gives one of his most brilliant performances to date, and Tobey Maguire (as his writing protege) is an equal match. As usual, Frances McDormand is a joy to watch, underplaying her character but bringing out subtle nuances to every scene she's in. If you're a bit tired of typical Hollywood high-velocity entertainment, but still want to see a very entertaining film with plenty of comedy in it, this is the film for you!
