This was released on 6 screens in late July 2009, after being in various film festivals,It left the theatres 3 weeks later having a poor box office. Title changed to THE ANSWER MAN
Simple reason why,there are no major actors in any role. Jeff Daniels is the lead. He is OK BUT he really is not a leading man.The female roles are done by actresses little known to me, except for Nora Dunn. The writer/director in his maiden effort is John Hindman.I give him an E for effort.
Newcomer --- Lou Taylor Pucci is quite good as the alcoholic book store owner & very young Max Autisell as young Alex is adorable.
The film had possibilities but has too many F words to really be likable. Filmed in Philadelphia,Nice cinematography.
Ratings: **1/2 (out of 10) 73 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
