WIN WIN

Movie: Win Win Jan's Rating: 8 Time: 1 Hour 46 Minutes Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and really enjoyed it, though we had not seen an advertisement for it. It is only playing at the Kenwood Theater in Cincinnati area. The movie stars Paul Giamatti as a struggling attorney who needs extra money, so when he meets an elderly gentleman suffering from dimentia, he tells the court he will take care of the man at the man's home for $1500/month because the man does not want to go to a nursing home. Then the attorney (Paul Giamatti) puts the man in a nursing home and collects the $1500/month for doing nothing. Along comes the man's grandson who wants to live with his Grandfather and ends up staying with the attorney and his family because this boy is a good wrestler (in high school) and the attorney wants him on their team. It gets more confusing, but you need to see it for yourself. It is another great movie that we heard little about, like Barnie's Version, which we loved.
