SMART PEOPLE premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, but I hadn't heard of it until recently, when the DVD release was announced. Smart People was released today, August 12, on DVD
And so it was with a curious mind that I took a look at the DVD.
Director: Noam Murro
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Haden Church, Ellen Page, Ashton Holmes, David Denman, Camille Mana, and Christine Lahti
Release Date: August 12, 2008
Synopsis: Once an idealistic and ambitious academic, Professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Quaid) lost his passion for teaching when he lost his wife. Hunkered-down behind his books, Wetherhold has forgotten how to connect, even with his daughter, the acerbically witty Vanessa (Page). Suddenly a head injury sends Wetherhold to the emergency room where his world spins out of his control. Forced to depend on his brother (Church), a freeloading oddball, for transportation, Wetherhold is surprised to find himself attracted to his ER doctor and former ex student (Parker) and begins to emerge from his isolation—with surprising consequences for the entire family.
