Wonder Boys (2000)
May 2017: Critic's Choice

Directed by Curtis Hanson
Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire

For this funny, intelligent film, Michael Douglas shed his usual debonair persona to play Grady Tripp, a writing professor with a complicated love life and a second novel he can’t seem to finish. His wife has left him, his married lover is pregnant, and now his editor, after waiting for seven years, has shown up demanding the manuscript. Tobey Maguire plays his most promising, if eccentric student, and Robert Downey Junior his doggedly persistent editor.
