Synopsis:
Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck) is living the American Dream: great job, beautiful family, shiny Porsche in the garage. When corporate downsizing leaves him and co-workers (Chris Cooper and Tommy Lee Jones) jobless, the three men are forced to redefine their lives. Bobby soon finds himself enduring enthusiastic life coaching, a job building houses for his brother-in-law (Kevin Costner), and perhaps the realization that there is more to life than chasing the bigger, better deal. With humor, pathos, and keen observation, writer-director John Wells (the creator of ER) introduces us to the new realities of American life.
