Greeting the cynical New Yorker is a young, aspiring writer who challenges his hero to be the icon he'd idolized. However, Harris wants no part of Michigan, small towns and he has no interest in being the young man's hero. The young man must face his hero and navigate the relationship between heroes, reality and hope.

Yo esperaba ver a Jeff Daniels en un mejor papel que este pero no saliio de piltrafoso y alcoholico muy degradante para su persona y por el lado de la historia se me hizo super aburrida no recominedo para nada este film no malgasten su dinero

Those that expect staple plot devices and cinematic convention will likely find the dialogue garrulous, the settings rudimentary, and the cast, however talented, insufficiently broad. To those who recognize the play in this film, however, the choice to limit cast size becomes immediately obvious when watching how effectively the tension is built and sustained between Jeff Daniels and Thomas Macias; the constrained settings further this end and show appropriate deference to the real dramatic locus: the dialogue. Though the tone of the writing can feel at times a bit pedantic, the delivery is earnest; and far from superfluous, it is essential. It's refreshing to watch a film that almost exclusively relies on words and ideas to effectively create suspense and drama, much as plays must, and in taking a page from the theater, perhaps suggests that it is the film industry, and not the theater which has come to rely too much on props.

Terrible.
