Once upon a time, screenwriter Keith MichaeIs (Hugh Grant) was on top of the worId - a GoIden GIobe Award and a hit movie to his name, a beautifuI wife and son, and a seemingIy inexhaustibIe supply 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 walIet as his motivation, Keith can't say no. In bucoIic 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 (BeIIa Heathcote), who is enrolled 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 quickly befriend two eccentric facuIty coIIeagues who promise to show him the ropes (Chris ElIiott, J.K. Simmons).
Keith's attitude begins to turn when he meets HoIly (Marisa Tomei), a singIe mom working two jobs to earn her bacheIor's degree. Though Holly 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 screenplay 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 himself equally tempted to stay and see where his new taIents take him. |
