The Hollars

With a cartooning career in NYC going nowhere and the family money of his pregnant girlfriend (Anna Kendrick) covering the bills, John Hollar (John Krasinski, who directed) was struggling with the point of it all. On the news that his force-of-nature mom (Margo Martindale) faced brain surgery, he headed back to his small Midwest hometown, his eccentric clan...and a refresher course in what really matters. Flavorful charmer co-stars Richard Jenkins, Sharlto Copley, Charlie Day, Josh Groban. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
