Dennis Quaid and Ellen Page star in Smart People
Check out the trailer for the acclaimed indie comedy here on inthenews.co.uk.
Smart People is the story of Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid, Far From Heaven) a widowed, imperiously brilliant, and self-absorbed literature professor who has alienated his son (Ashton Holmes, A History of Violence) and turned his teenage daughter (Ellen Page, Juno) into an acid-tongued, friendless overachiever. After a hit to the head he falls for doctor, and former student, Janet (Sarah Jessica Parker, The Family Stone, Sex and the City), at the same time, his ne'er-do-well brother (Thomas Haden Church, Sideways) unexpectedly shows up at his door, low on cash and needing a place to stay. The circumstances cause Laurence to stir from his deep, deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking, consequences for himself and everyone around him.
