Since this is the longest trailer in the world, you really don't need to watch this movie once you've seen it. Here's what happens: Scruffy-haired Dennis Quaid is a brilliant but sort-of depressed college professor. His daughter (Ellen Page) is excessively driven (Young Republicans, model U.N., and she's aiming for a perfect SAT score, natch). Then he has a seizure and can't legally drive for six months. Thankfully, he gets stuck with lovely doctor Sarah Jessica Parker, which would be enough to make this just a romantic comedy. But enter even scruffier (adopted) brother Thomas Haden Church, who decides he'll move in and chauffer Dennis around (since the daughter's too busy). It's a movie about bonding with the people you love, new and old. Sort of like other recent movies that all of the stars of this one were in (The Family Stone, Sideways, Juno, In Good Company). It's likely to be the feel-good indie success story of the year, and you have all the scoop without having so much as watched the trailer. Lucky you. -- DeAnn Welker
