Meet Bill (Aaron Eckhart). By all appearances his life is perfect...a perfect mess, that is. His wife (Elizabeth Banks) is having an affair with the local news anchor (Timothy Olyphant) and he is stuck in a dead-end job at his father-in-law's bank. Bill sees no escape from his miserable life until he becomes mentor to a self-assured teen (Logan Lerman) who is determined to help Bill reinvent his life by setting him up with a sexy lingerie saleswoman (Jessica Alba) who promises to spice things up. Together, the trio confronts Bill's hapless life with humor and energy while forcing him to capture his dream of becoming his own man.

It's never too late to reevaluate where your life is going and start over. Remember the little things in life. Very predictable uplifting story that is transparently vapid. As usual, Aaron Eckhart's characters either go from being really egotistical to insecure or visa versa. The ending leaves you thinking, "Really? that's it?..um ok....well that was kind of a waste my time."
