| THE HOLLARS movie poster |
John Hollar is an aspiring graphic novelist working in a boring job in NYC. His girlfriend, Rebecca, is very pregnant but he has commitment issues with making the relationship a permanent one.
His girlfriend shows up at his job with a packed bag and airline ticket. His mother has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. He is reluctant at first to go but Rebecca insists that he go check on his family. So he leaves NYC and returns to his childhood home. There he finds his father unable to cope with the possibility of losing his wife. John also finds out that his father's business is on the verge of bankruptcy. And his brother is living in the basement as he has lost his job...actually he worked for his father and his father fired him.The Mom, Sally, tries to hold the family together while she faces this major medical crisis.
Well, Dear Readers The Travelling Toe will leave the narrative there. Does Sally survive the brain surgery? Does John finally grow-up to take care of his family? Will Don be able to save the family business? You will just have to find out for yourself. One comment that The Travelling Toe must share is that the actors who play the parents, Margo Martindale and Richard Jenkins, are 2 of the best actors working today. They make their relationship seem real. Also Josh Groban has a cameo role in the movie playing Rev Dan, yes a real minister.
Side Note:
When they were shaving Sally's hair, it really looked like Margo was really having her own hair shaved off! How did they do that?
