Trailer

Dianne (Amanda Peet) expected to be in demand as both an actress and a mom by the time she reached fifty. In this humorous and relatable dramedy, we find that sometimes life can take unexpected turns. Sam (writer-director Matthew Shear) is thirty-something and single, and the loss of his paralegal position triggers a mental spiral. A visit to his longtime psychiatrist (Judd Hirsch) lands him a spur-of-the-moment job offer: babysitting the doc’s granddaughters. One night becomes a regular gig, and despite her loving children and cool dad husband, Dianne craves the easy rapport she shares with Sam. Can two people just trying to keep their own heads above water throw each other a lifeline?
