One might say that Win Win is perhaps his most conventional dramedy, as it features a normal suburban family with normal suburban problems. Paul Giamatti is "Mike Fla... read more

Thomas McCarthy, another actor turned director, seems to belong to the kind of directors who makes some movies which are very well reviewed but which don’t get much an audience, at least, that’s how I see it. This time, he made another indie drama starring the always dependable Paul Giamatti and even though it was pretty good, it was still not quite remarkable which is pretty much the same fee... read more

"First viewing - July 30th Picked this up for $3 since I've been wanting to see it & couldn't pass up the price. I've enjoyed Tom McCarthy's other films that I've seen & Paul Giamatti is always worth watching, so I knew it'd be worthwhile. And so it is. The entire cast does a good job, there are some wonderful human & humorous moments throughout, and it's solidly entertaining. It didn't quite cross the line of greatness for me, but I dug it well enough I'll be keeping my copy & watching it again"
