Paper Man.




This trailer caught my eye for two reasons; 1: Jeff Daniels (from the epic Dumb & Dumber) plays the lead role. 2: Ryan Reynolds plays Jeff Daniels imaginary super hero friend. Admittedly, Reynolds usually annoys the hell out of me and even more so when he started going out with Scarlet Johansson, but in this film he seems to actually be quite funny.

The story revolves around Richard (Jeff Daniels), a failed middle aged novelist who meets Abby (Emma Stone), a 17 year old girl whose involvement in a family tragedy a few years earlier has stolen away her youth. The main thing that caught me as being pretty damn awesome was that Richard has an imaginary friend called Captain Excellent (Ryan Reynolds). There are a few funny moments in the trailer where Captain Excellent suggests to Richard certain ways to solve his problems which did make me chuckle.

I am excited to see this film when it comes out. However it was shown at the LA film festival in 2009 and was just released in North America on the 23rd of April of this year. So hopefully us European folk have not long to wait.
