Al Klein (Christopher Meloni of TV’s LAW & ORDER: SVU) and his longtime friend, Ash Martini (Dean Norris of TV’s BREAKING BAD), own a used car lot and these two know every trick in the book when it comes to selling cars. Klein still pines for his ex-wife Barbara (Bridget Moynahan of TV’s BLUE BLOODS) who left him years ago for a more successful man. After their son Freddy (Devon Bostick of DIARY OF A WIMPY KID FRANCHISE) graduates from high school, he decides to forego college in favor of selling cars with his old man. But what’s good for Klein might not be the best thing for Freddy, as he quickly transforms froman innocent young man into a jaded car salesman, leaving Al with a tough decision to make. Inspired by a true story, this heartwarming comedy is written and directed by TV’s 24 co-creator Joel Surnow and co-stars Kevin Nealon (TV’s WEEDS), Xander Berkeley (TAKEN), and Garcelle Beauvais (FLIGHT).
… This is a wonderful character-driven story. Through the course of the film, Meloni's character grows—but not in a way that is unrealistic or contrived. And, most importantly, it is not a HUGE change—but a reasonable change. Meloni and the rest of the cast are great—and Meloni proves he's not just good on television but as a movie actor as well. I loved Bostick's performance almost as much as Meloni's and there were also a lot of nice supporting characters that give the film wonderful depth and humor (the opening scene with the young car thief is amazingly clever and made me smile). While this isn't a comedy exactly, some parts are funny and some of it is quite poignant. This film should be a huge boost to the career of Joel Surnow. While Surnow has written a quite a few scripts before this (mostly for TV—such as "24" and the amazingly overlooked "Nowhere Man") and has a few producer credits, here he also gets a chance to direct as well as write the story—and he did a great job with both.
This film would make an excellent date night. Women seem to really like Meloni and the film has a lot for the guys as well. Intelligent and well worth your time.IMDB Reviewer
