The Boys Are Back
"The Boys Are Back" is a confessional tale of fatherhood. It follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter (Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just says yes." Inspired by a true story and filled with emotional honesty, this poignant film will touch your heart and lift your spirits.
