Overview
A handyman living in New York City is mistaken for a famous and famously reclusive writer and brought to a university where he is to deliver a keynote address.
I’ll say right up front that there is nothing exceptional about this movie. We’ve seen this theme done well before, and sometimes done better than it is in this movie. But there is something with the talents of the cast (Shannon in particular) that allows this movie to sneak up on the viewer a bit towards the end. It ended up being a bit better than I thought it would be.
