THE BOYS ARE BACK
The Story:
Inspired by a true story, Joe Warr (Clive Owen) is a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just says yes."
Raising two boys - a curious six year-old (Nicholas McAnulty) and a rebel teen Harry (George MacKay) from a previous marriage -- in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless . . . and on the constant verge of disaster.
United by unspoken love, conflicted by fierce feelings and in search of a road forward, the three multi-generational boys of the Warr household, father and sons alike, must each find their own way, however tenuous, to grow up.
