"Smart People"

Jim & I saw "Smart People" on Sunday and we both really liked it. It is about Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid), who is a widower, an indifference father who is also a pompous professor of English Lit at Carnegie Mellon. A seizure and a fall had him going to the ER and there he met one of his former students, Dr Janet Hartigan (Sarah Jessica Parker) whom he starts to date, much to the horror of his daughter, Vanessa (Ellen Page). Lawrence's "loser" brother, Chuck (Thomas Haden Church) moved in to help around the house. The movie shows that sometimes the smartest people don't quite get it all together. It was a cute movie and I would recommend you watch it.

Other movies I recommend by actors in this movie:
1) Hard Candy - Ellen Page
2) Juno - Ellen Page
3) Spanglish - Thomas Haden Church
4) Sideways - Thomas Haden Church
5) The Family Stone - Sarah Jessica Parker
6) The First Wives Club - Sarah Jessica Parker
7) Ed Wood - Sarah Jessica Parker
8) Honeymoon in Vegas - Sarah Jessica Parker
9) In Good Company - Dennis Quaid
10) The Rookie - Dennis Quaid
11) Frequency - Dennis Quaid
