Once upon a time, screenwriter Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant) was on top of the world - a Golden Globe Award and a hit movie to his name, a beautiful wife and son, and a seemingly inexhaustible 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. ln bucolic Binghamton, he quickly discovers that his celebrity status hasn't faded and he finds himseIf in a compromising position with a star-struck pupil, Karen (Bella Heathcote), who is enroIIed 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 humourIess 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 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 themseIves connected by their mutuaI need for a second chance. When one of his pupiIs comes up with a screenpIay that Keith knows wiIl seIl, he sees an opportunity to get out of teaching and go back to living the good life. But he's aIso discovered that teaching has given him that second chance at becoming a better man - and finds himseIf equaIIy tempted to stay and see where his new talents take him. |
