” I thought about my fat uncle Lenny and the job he’d strong-armed for me that would start in the fall. Which meant I had exactly three months left to live.”
After graduating cum laude with a degree in economics, Art Bechstein (Jon Foster) just wanted a mindless summer job before starting into a career as a stockbroker – what his gangster father (Nick Nolte) wants him to be. Being a clerk at Book Barn gives him that opportunity. It also affords him the opportunity to have frequent sex in the stacks and storage room with his boss, Phlox (Mena Suvari).
One evening Art hooks up with Momo (Omid Abtahi), his first year college roommate. Momo introduces Art to Jane Bellwether (Sienna Miller) and soon meets her enigmatic – well downright weird – boyfriend Cleveland (Peter Sarsgaard). Jane and Cleveland show Art the Pittsburgh he didn’t know, and in the process, romance develops and takes Art to places he didn’t know before.
Based on Michael Chabon’s 1988 book. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber.
Run time: 1 hour, 35 minutes
Rated R.
My personal rating: B-
