Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Win Win at The Neon in Dayton. I'm not sure what it was the originally made me want to see the movie when I saw the preview, was it the interesting story line? Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Tambor? Or the Ohio tattoo on the kid that wrestles in the movie? I'm pretty sure it was mostly to see the Ohio tattoo, but luckily the movie was incredible. If you haven't seen the movie, definitely check it out. It's one of those stories that draws you in, makes you laugh, and then tugs at your heart strings at the end. Here is a brief synopsis of the film, courtesy of IMDb.com (because I know I would probably end up ruining the story if I told you myself):
"Disheartened attorney Mike Flaherty (Giamatti), who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach, stumbles across a star athlete through some questionable business dealings while trying to support his family. Just as it looks like he will get a double payday, the boy's mother shows up fresh from rehab and flat broke, threatening to derail everything."
If you live in the Dayton area, I believe the film will be shown at The Neon until Thursday night, so make sure to go down there and check it out. For people who live elsewhere, hopefully you can find it in a local theater. It's sometimes hard to find a good film that not only is funny, but smart as well, but here it is. Go see it!
