Michael
Douglas plays a college English professor working on his
second book, but he's got serious writer's block, his wife is leaving
him, he's gotten the college chancellor (Frances McDormand) pregnant,
his gay literary agent (Downey) is coming to town, one of his best
students (Maguire) is depressed and maybe suidcidal, and another student
(Holmes) has a big crush on him. And all of this happens in one day!
It's a big, funny romp and something totally different for Douglas,
who pulls it off masterfully. All of the supporting cast are also
excellent.
My Movie of the Year!
