Description: Solitary Man tells the dryly funny yet all too relatable story of Ben Kalmen (Michael Douglas), a fifty-something New Yorker and former successful car dealer, who through his own bad choices lost his entire business. He's also divorced from Nancy (Susan Sarandon), his college sweetheart and the one person who knows him better than anyone. Although he still finds the time for his daughter Susan (Jenna Fischer) and her adoring grandson, his role as more of a friend than father or grandfather is starting to wear thin on the family. His girlfriend Jordan (Mary-Louise Parker) is the daughter of a very influential businessman who's on the board of a major auto manufacturer. If Ben can just keep his hubris in check for a little while longer, he will be back as big as ever, but some of the same motivations that lead to his demise are threatening to take him down again, and for good.

Variety adds that "old tensions crop up between the groom-to-be and one of his friends over the woman they both loved as teenagers." While it sounds like a fun movie for Douglas and I've enjoyed his recent work, he already played similar characters in Solitary Man and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Last April, Fogelman said he wanted Jack Nicholson for the role, so the filmmakers aren't exactly thinking outside the box on this one. Thankfully, Douglas will be stretching himself in his next role a (Read More)
