In a town where nothing ever happens… everything is about to happen to Sully.

Donald “Sully” Sullivan is an expert at avoiding adult responsibilities. At 60, he divides all his time between a local bar and the occasional construction job. When his estranged son, Peter, arrives in town, bringing with him a son of his own and a sob story about his failed marriage, Sully finds himself assuming the roles of both father and grandfather. After a life of unchecked self-indulgence, he wonders if he is up to the task.

“We love to see our movie gods play flawed souls, especially a god with a face that looks like one on a Roman coin.” – Chicago Tribune (Gene Siskel)

“’Nobody’s Fool’ is an unprecedented treat, populated with charming, believable characters and a parting shot so beautiful even the hardest of hearts will melt helplessly at its sight.” – Empire Magazine

“While watching Robert Benton’s sublime adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel, it’s hard to avoid the realization that movies like this have become an endangered species.” – Seattle Times
