Spring Forward (1999)

.
"Every day you open a new book. That way, it doesn't matter how old you are because you're always starting on page one."

On the first day on a new job ex-convict Paul (Liev Schreiber) is paired with Murph (Ned Beatty), a grizzled fellow nearing retirement from the county parks department in small town Connecticut. They have little in common but over the course of a year, they share confidences and draw close.

A touching story of new beginnings and closure.

Also appearing are Peri Gilpin, Scott Campbell and Ian Hall.

Written and directed by Tom Gilroy.

Run time: 1 hour, 52 minutes

Rated R for profanity.

My personal rating: B+
