Southeast Premiere
Hiding out in Philadelphia, Arlen Faber (Jeff Daniels, The Squid and the Whale) is the renowned yet reclusive author of a self-help book that molded a generation. Now, on the 20th anniversary of his still wildly popular Me and God, Arlen continues to be seen as the man with all the answers. However, this spiritual guru is content with his low profile and keeps his true identity hidden even from the mailman. That is, until he meets Elizabeth (Lauren Graham, TV's Gilmore Girls), a chiropractor/single mother raising her son, and Kris (Lou Taylor Pucci, Thumbsucker), a freshly-sober local bookstore owner, both searching for meaning and the answers only he, as the man who spoke to God, can produce. Trouble is . . . he can't. Newcomer writer/director John Hindman's clever romantic comedy fuses this eccentric group of characters in a unique and inspiring story of the things that make life complicated--heroes that let us down, life not giving us what we deserve, and fame not being all it's cracked up to be.
