WONDER BOYS (2001)

Cast

Plot

Grady Tripp is an award winning novelist, the only problem is that this was seven years ago and he seems unable to relinquish the second book to his increasingly agitated publishers. To compound matters Grady's personal life is crumbling around him and the characters that frequent his world don't appear to be helping matters. All comes to a head one frantic, farcical and nerve shredding weekend, a series of mishaps that may consign him to the scrap heap forever or perhaps provide him with the opportunity to make a few wise life decisions. 'Wonder Boys' is an intelligent and perceptive comedy/drama, with some fine performances, Michael Douglas's in particular.
