Bilgi :Grady Tripp (Douglas) is a professor/writer living in Pittsburgh who is struggling with writers block. Whilst doing this, he also manages to get the chancellor (McDormand) pregnant. In the meantime, he and a college student, James Leer (Maguire) are trying to find a rare jacket once owned by Marilyn Monroe, and a college girl, Hannah Green (Holmes) boarding with Grady has a bit of a crush on him. Based on the book of the same name by Michael Chabon.On the day his third wife leaves him and his literary agent arrives to pressure him to finish a novel seven years in the writing, Carnegie Mellon professor, Grady Tripp, also learns that his married mistress is pregnant. Seven years before, with his first novel, he was a wonder boy. So was his agent. Both now need something. Over the weekend, instead of making choices, he vacillates in a pot-induced haze. One of his students, James Leer, perhaps stirs paternal feelings in Grady and raises homo-erotic urges in the agent. Academic politics complicate things: Gradys mistress is the college chancellor, her husband chairs Gradys department, James has just shot the husbands dog. What to do?
