About this movie

Awkward Ed Wallis (Nat Wolff) moves to a new town with his single mom (Sarah Silverman) and needs help fitting in. Brainier than his peers, Ed figures playing high school football might be good way to make more friends, but his only new friend Eloise (Emma Roberts) thinks it's odd. When Ed gets an assignment to write an essay about someone from an older generation, he introduces himself to his neighbor Ashby Holt (Mickey Rourke) and the two embark on an unlikely, immediate friendship. Ashby's style of tough love takes some getting used to but, overtime, Ed learns a lot from Ashby including how to be courageous.which is very much needed when he learns his new best friend is a former CIA assassin.

An okay script with some maturish elements. Cute... watch and don't look too hard at the character imperfections. Reads a bit l like a vehicle for the lead rather than a film the actor earned to be in.

Great! Perfect blend of comedy and drama...I couldn't chose which character I loved the best. I love movies that aren't afraid to show men caring about one another. Fantastic movie with themes on what it means to be a man. This film in up in my top 10 of all time with Shawshank..and that's saying a lot!

Perfect balance between comedy and drama. I am very happy Mickey Rourke is back. He fought for it, he came back from dark places. You deserve success smiling at you again Mickey, All the cast are extraordinary as well, Bravo!
