You'll come for Morgan Freeman.
You'll stay for a sweet little story.
The story:
An alcoholic, wheelchair bound curmudgeonly ex-writer comes to a rural town to get away for the summer, and perhaps, just maybe, find inspiration to write again. His agent is pushing to sell the rights to his great western hero, but Monte (Morgan Freeman) is in no mood to sell. In fact, he's not much in the mood for anything. Then he meets his new neighbors, a divorced mother of three sweet girls. And a funny thing begins to happen...
So seriously...
What went wrong with this movie that you've never heard about it?
Dirctor: Rob Reiner.
Star: Morgan Freeman
Released in Theaters... well... 4 of them anyway.

Not sure what happened with Castle Rock Entertainment, but they pretty much sat on this one. And while it's not going to win an Oscar, it's certainly worth 90 minutes of your time and energy. As the writer, Morgan Freeman oozes Morgan Freemanesque manner and attitude as a man who just doesn't care about much of anything anymore...and yet when he meets the little girl next door, a spark rekindles and he begins to write again.
But not the stories anyone would think he would write.
It's a charmer. Quiet movie entertainment for the entire family.
Currently streaming on Netflix.
