This Hugh Grant vehicle is better than his last few rather painful vehicles (ie Did You Hear about the Morgans) because the role he is cast in suits him this time. A screenwriter unable to get anything produced goes to teach screen writing in upstate New York. He looks suitably down cast with the droopy mouth and crumpled face.
The situations are generally quite funny especially choosing the students. The dialog is often witty although Hugh speaks so fast you can miss some of the jokes. Good supporting cast playing college teachers: Alison Janney, JK Simmons. Marisa Tomei plays an older student in the class.
Worth one watch.
