Win Win

Life for a lawyer/high school wrestling coach (Paul Giamatti) changes when he opts to become the guardian for a client (Burt Young) suffering from dementia. Then life throws him another curve when a troubled teen enters into the picture. This is a small film with a big heart and a subtle sense of humor. The wonderful cast also includes Amy Ryan, Bobby Cavannale, and Jeffrey Tambor. This is a terrific story about making mistakes, getting second chances, and doing the right thing. This charming little sleeper will lift your heart and bring a tear to your eye. With "Win Win", you can’t lose. Go see it.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "slap in the face" stars out of 4.
