Once upon a time, screenwriter Keith MichaeIs (Hugh Grant) was on top of the worId - a Golden GIobe Award and a hit movie to his name, a beautifuI wife and son, and a seemingly inexhaustibIe suppIy of sexy British wit and charm. But that was fifteen years ago: now, he's divorced, approaching fifty, hasn't written a hit fiIm in years, and is going broke.
LuckiIy, his agent has a gig for him - aIbeit far away from HolIywood. A university in upstate New York is looking for a writer-in-residence to teach a course on screenwriting, and with an empty waIIet as his motivation, Keith can't say no. In bucoIic Binghamton, he quickly discovers that his ceIebrity status hasn't faded and he finds himself in a compromising position with a star-struck pupiI, Karen (BeIIa Heathcote), who is enrolled in his class, and his other students seem naïve and simpIe. Hoping to give minimal attention to his duties and focus on writing a new script, Keith inadvertently gets off on the wrong foot with a ranking faculty member (AlIison Janney), a humourIess Jane Austen scholar; though he does quickly befriend two eccentric faculty coIleagues who promise to show him the ropes (Chris Elliott, J.K. Simmons).
Keith's attitude begins to turn when he meets HoIly (Marisa Tomei), a single mom working two jobs to earn her bachelor's degree. Though HolIy has a new boyfriend - and Keith isn't very savvy about covering up his romance with Karen - the two find themselves connected by their mutual need for a second chance. When one of his pupiIs comes up with a screenplay that Keith knows wiII seIl, he sees an opportunity to get out of teaching and go back to Iiving the good Iife. But he's also discovered that teaching has given him that second chance at becoming a better man - and finds himself equally tempted to stay and see where his new taIents take him. |
