Trying to jump a fence at the car impound lot didn’t exactly work out for literature professor Lawrence. It not only gave him a nice concussion, but also the pleasure of not being able to drive himself. Luckily, his lowlife adopted brother Chuck is here to move in and become his chauffeur. Being a nice guy and all, he convinces Lawrence’s daughter Vanessa to have more fun. And since her father is this grumpy college professor, fun for her doesn’t mean doing drugs like Chuck means. | ||||||||

It's no question Ellen Page made a big impression on a lot of people with Juno. And the first impressions on Smart People point into the same direction. A well worked out drama, with the usual comical lightness. Let's hope Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't ruin it all! Just kidding, although it's a sad thing she replaced Rachel Weisz, who probably would have been perfect for this movie. But all in all, this is looking to be quite the debut for director Noam Murro.
Release date: April 11, 2008 | ||||||||
