Win Win

Win Win is the story of a smaller-town lawyer and wrestling coach (played by Paul Giamatti) whose practice serving the elderly appears to be falling on tough times.  Repairs are needed at the office, home life is getting more expensive, so some extra money would be nice.  Giamatti winds up with a case in which an older gentleman in the early stages of dementia needs a guardian, and it turns out this gentleman would pay $1500 a month.  So without telling his wife, Giamatti's character signs on as guardian.  The gentleman's grandson shows up, having runaway from home, and turns out to be a terrific wrestler.  The boy's mom is nowhere to be found but suddenly shows up, wanting to take both the boy and her father back to Ohio.

I highly recommend Win Win.  No one is perfect in the film, and while there are humorous moments, the film never goes over the top or cheesy with the humor, and there are winning performances from Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan.
