Grady Tripp, un profesor de literatura de la Universidad de Carnegie Mellon, sufre una crisis que le impide escribir: su tercera esposa lo acaba de abandonar, y su agente literario lo presiona para que termine su segunda novela. Siete años antes, cuando era un joven prodigio, su primera novela tuvo una enorme repercusión. Durante el fin de semana en que se celebra el "Festival de las Palabras", James Leer, uno de sus alumnos, despierta su vena paternal, y ambos se lanzan a la búsqueda de una extraña prenda que perteneció a Marilyn Monroe.

A film in which formally everything works as it should, yet it didn't get close to my heart. Douglas's deliciously played stoner professor Tripp is a thoroughly likeable character, as is the setting; even the cloudy weather aptly corresponds with Tripp's feelings, and some situations are hilariously absurd, but plot-wise it is just average. In the same way that editor Crabtree "improvises" at the end of the film, it seems to me that the screenwriter improvises at times to make his child at least a little more interesting.
