Good-hearted and devoted husband Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti) is challenged when his law practice and wrestling team seem to be on a downward spiral. After scheming and deciding to become the legal guardian of one of his senior-citizen clients to save his business, which seems a bit out-of-character, he is tested when the client’s grandson shows up at the doorstep of his grandfather’s abandoned house. Flaherty takes in the troubled boy and finds that he is an astonishing asset to his wrestling team—all while building a paternal relationship with him. Director Thomas McCarthy, who has worked on Lovely Bones, is known for not just showing emotion through characters but showing the emotional relationship between them. Behind its subtle humor, this film tells a warming coming-of-age story about a man trying to find a loophole to save his business and coaching job, but ultimately finds himself as he helps others.
