(DVD REVIEW) WIN WIN

Paul Giamatti is the cinnamon of the acting world. Like with cooking, every time someone says "This is good. What's in it?" the chef will almost always say "Cinnamon". Same thing with movies. If there is a really good movie that sticks out to you and you have to call on the one thing that made it great for you...Paul Giamatti is your best bet.

Plot: Disheartened attorney Mike Flaherty (Giamatti), who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach, stumbles across a star athlete through some questionable business dealings while trying to support his family. Just as it looks like he will get a double payday, the boy's mother shows up fresh from rehab and flat broke, threatening to derail everything. Written by Fox Searchlight Pictures 

This movie has lots of heart and turns out to be a film that I really enjoyed. Giamatti is, as always, great. Bobby Cannavale (Will and Grace) and Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development) are fantastic as assistant coaches/friends. In the end, the movie works well and is a great indie film for the weekend. Rent it.
