Preview: Solitary Man (2010)

Synopsis:

Having met hard times, an aging father and ex-husband continues to pursue younger women, including a college classmate of his daughter.

• Poster: C-

Review:

The background image is thankfully faded so that it doesn't look like every other such poster in existence, but there's something all too plain about this advertising piece that not even Michael Douglas could sell it.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Douglas has long been in need of a strong comedy vehicle and this may well be it. There are some hopelessly outdated elements to the story, but in conjunction with an aging star, it may be the perfect recipe.

Oscar Prospects:

Douglas already has Oscar prospects with his Wall Street sequel, so consider this a quickly-forgotten never-ran.

Release Date:

• May 21, 2010
