Paper Man (2009) 6/10

Starring : Jeff Daniels, Emma Stone, Lisa Kudrow, Ryan Reynolds
Director : Kieran & Michele Mulroney
Running Time : 107 mins

Richard Dunn (Daniels) – a 40-something man with an imaginary friend called Captain Excellent (Reynolds) - decides, with the encouragement of his wife Claire (Kudrow), to spend some time in seclusion in order to help start his second novel. However, feeling uninspired, he travels into town and meets high school student Abby (Stone), forming an unlikely friendship that helps him finally grow up a little…

Daniels and Stone make a fine pair in this comedy drama. Their interplay on the screen was a real treat, and with Ryan Reynolds thrown in for good measure this underrated movie could have been a real winner. Sadly there isn’t really enough substance to this movie to make it really great.
