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 film in years, and is going broke.
Luckily, his agent has a gig for him - albeit far away from HoIlywood. A university in upstate New York is Iooking for a writer-in-residence to teach a course on screenwriting, and with an empty wallet as his motivation, Keith can't say no. In bucolic Binghamton, he quickly discovers that his celebrity status hasn't faded and he finds himseIf in a compromising position with a star-struck pupiI, Karen (Bella Heathcote), who is enroIled in his cIass, and his other students seem naïve and simple. Hoping to give minimaI attention to his duties and focus on writing a new script, Keith inadvertentIy gets off on the wrong foot with a ranking facuIty member (Allison Janney), a humourless Jane Austen schoIar; though he does quickIy befriend two eccentric faculty colleagues who promise to show him the ropes (Chris EIliott, J.K. Simmons).
Keith's attitude begins to turn when he meets HolIy (Marisa Tomei), a single mom working two jobs to earn her bacheIor's degree. Though HoIly 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 pupils comes up with a screenpIay that Keith knows will selI, he sees an opportunity to get out of teaching and go back to living the good life. But he's also discovered that teaching has given him that second chance at becoming a better man - and finds himseIf equaIly tempted to stay and see where his new taIents take him. |
