Paul Giamatti (l.) and Alex Shaffer sit one out in Win Win.
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment released the acclaimed comedy-drama Win Win, starring Paul Giamatti (Barney’s Version) and Amy Ryan (Jack Goes Boating), on Blu-ray
Giamatti plays lawyer and high-school wrestling coach Mike Flaherty, who’s going through troubling financial times until he comes across a teenage runaway (debuting actor Alex Shaffer) who also happens to be a champion wrestler. Taking the teen in and getting him enrolled in school, things start to look up for Mike and his family. But Mike’s win-win situation soon becomes more complicated when the boy’s family affairs come into play…
Directed by Tom McCarthy (The Visitor) and co-starring Bobby Cannavale (The Other Guys), Jeffrey Tambor (TV’s The Larry Sanders Show), Melanie Lynskey (The Informant!) and Burt Young (Once Upon a Time in America), Win Win is an ultimately uplifting comedy-drama that truly acknowledges (celebrates?) the uniqueness of 21st century families.
A critics’ darling, Win Win grossed about $10 million at the domestic box office during its limited theatrical release earlier this year.
