Richard is a failed novelist who still talks to his childhood imaginary superhero friend, Captain Excellent. At the urging of his wife Claire, Richard has moved to a Long Island beach community for the winter season in order to overcome his writer's block. There, Richard meets 17-year-old Abby who he sees while riding his rustic bike around town. He sees her light a fire in the trash can for no apparent reason. He decides to follow her. She confronts him, and Richard, trying not to appear as a pervert, hires her as a weekly babysitter, even though he has no children. Friday night she comes over to watch his "children" but he reveals to her that he has no children. Abby seems completely fine with it and Richard decides to spend his time at the pier, talking to Captain Excellent, who insists that Richard can never make a correct decision without his help. After returning from the pier, Richard comes home to find that Abby has made soup while he was away. He is awed by the fact that she has made this with her hands, as he has been having trouble in using his hands to make anything. He hires her again for the same time next week, though Captain Excellent states that it will only lead to bad things but Richard decides to ignore him. Their tenuous friendship is sparked by Richard's awe over Abby's youth and innocence and Abby's enjoyment of Richard's writing. They eventually grow so close that their relationships seems to be similar to that of a father and daughter. Abby tells Richard about her twin sister, Amy's, death, while Richard confides in her about his failing marriage. Meanwhile Christopher, who has been there for Abby since Amy's death, watches her relationship with Richard grow, and though he feels neglected by Abby, all he wants is for her to be happy, no matter what that means for him. In the end Richard and Abby must face the reality of their lives, with Abby standing up to her loutish boyfriend and Richard bidding goodbye to Captain Excellent once and for all.Read full review
A middle aged writer moves to a cabin to write his second book. His wife stays in the city and visits him on weekends, oh yeah, and he also has an invisible friend. The writer builds and unlikely friendship with a lonely teenage girl as the pair of them reveal secrets about their pasts and help each other with their lives that are full of loneliness and sadness. This was all very well written and well acted, it even had a "twist" near the end, I say twist, and I assume it was supposed to be that way, but sadly what happened seemed expected to me. Alas at the end of the movie, it just didn't "do it" for me. I've no complaints about the film, sure it was a little slow in places, but it was decidedly average throughout and I have no inkling to watch it again. I am sure some people will find it a fantastic movie, others will hate it, I sit firmly in the middle on this one.Read full review
I really liked this off beet essay in the human condition. It approaches love and loss and hope for the future from a new refreshing angle. After all, aren't we all just trying to understand life as we experience. The friendships and relationships that grows between the characters is genuine. Ryan Reynolds is the bonus in the piece. Witty and charming. Watch it. Blessings, Max **If you found this information at all helpful, please take a moment to select the "yes" button below.

A pretty standard tale of a man in mid life who has problems relating to people without his childhood super hero watching over him to protect him from life's difficulties. Ryan Reynolds is great as Captain Excellent but is mostly unrecognizable because of the blond hair and really tight blue superhero outfit. All in all, a film worth watching. Lisa Kudrow is great as the uptight wife.
this is one emma stone movie that i did not have. the movie was unopened and very reasonably priced, not any complaints...
