Spivak: Directed by Anthony Abrams, Adam Larson Broder. With Michael Bacall, Maggie Lawson, Elden Henson, Mark Webber. Struggling writer Wally Spivak is stuck in a rut – – until he meets an engaged couple and starts to see life in a whole new way.

“Wally Spivak (Michael Bacall) is a small time writer – uncool and unpublished. His u0026quot;friendsu0026quot; who arenu0026#39;t much more cool than Wally themselves, still needle him incessantly that he just keeps redrafting the same manuscript. Alone at an all but deserted bar on Valentines night heu0026#39;s unexpectedly picked up by Jannine (Maggie Lawson), a totally cool girl from very much the other side of town. What is going on?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEnter Chuck (Robert Kazinsky), the irrepressible British golf pro harbouring a secret yearning for literature – a character so unlikely that the word surreal comes to mind. Despite the inexhaustible good humour and generosity of the new rich kids in his life, Wally is still overthinking – sure there must be a downside just around the corner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike an authoru0026#39;s dream, the vein of surrealism persists, but everyone acts their part with conviction and weu0026#39;re carried along by the unlikely train of events. We shouldnu0026#39;t be overthinking either, just taking in the entertainment and enjoying the ride.”
