Paper Man (1:50) 2009
Richard (Jeff Daniels) has moved to Long Island to write a book, his doctor wife continues to work in the city and visits on weekends. Richard has writer's block and he needs the assistance of his longtime imaginary superhero friend, Captain Excellence (Ryan Reynolds). As Richard struggles with his book, he befriends a teenage girl, Abby. Abby has experienced an earlier tragedy and responds to Richard's attention. As time goes on, these two flawed, damaged friends help each other discover a more satisfying way to experience life. I have to admit that I didn't care for this movie at the beginning but Abby (Emma Stone) is excellent in this quirky drama. Daniels is just is a good as the struggling but charming writer whose character develops and changes over time. I recommend for those watching the movie be aware that it is very quirky wth scenes which may not be your cup of tea but the ending is very touching and satisfying.
