Synopsis – What to Expect from “Wonder Boys”
Wonder Boys is a 2000 American comedy-drama film directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, Frances McDormand, Robert Downey Jr., Katie Holmes, and Rip Torn.
Set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the movie follows the life of Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas), a once-promising English professor whose life and career have gone awry. Grady is struggling to complete his long-overdue second novel, and his publisher, Terry Crabtree (Robert Downey Jr.), is eagerly awaiting its completion.
Grady’s life is further complicated when his student, James Leer (Tobey Maguire), shows up at his house with a gun and a suicide note. Grady takes James under his wing, and the two embark on a road trip, with Grady’s editor, Sara Gaskell (Frances McDormand), and Grady’s lover, Hannah Green (Katie Holmes), in tow.
The group faces a series of obstacles as they travel, including a broken-down car, a snowstorm, and a surprise visit from Grady’s ex-wife, Emily (Hope Davis). Along the way, Grady discovers that James is a talented writer, and the two form a bond as they work together on Grady’s novel.
Throughout the journey, Grady begins to come to terms with his past and find a way to move forward with his life.
