FREE: "Solitary Man" ~ Michael Douglas/Sarandon/Devito

The listing, "Solitary Man" ~ Michael Douglas/Sarandon/Devito has ended.

Douglas plays Ben, a former New York car salesman whose weakness for young women and easy money got him in trouble with the wife and the law. The movie opens “about 6 1/2 years ago” in a doctor’s office in which Ben learns he has a heart irregularity. As the physician informs him he’ll need more testing, Douglas’ face freezes – it comes to a screeching halt, as if it’s crashed up against an immovable object – and we’re sold.

Flash forward to today, when Ben is an out-of-work businessman with a plan to get back in it. He also has a girlfriend (Mary-Louise Parker) with an 18-year-old daughter, Allyson (Imogen Poots), who becomes the modified Lolita figure in the tale of Ben’s downfall. When this likable rake accompanies her to a college interview at his alma mater, a stupid impulse yields a string of bad consequences and yet more stupid impulses that propel the film.
Directors Brian Koppelman (who also wrote the screenplay) and David Levien nail the execution, coaxing relaxed performances from Susan Sarandon as Ben’s ex-wife and Jesse Eisenberg as the decent kid who gives Ben a campus tour. Danny DeVito’s role as Ben’s moral and marital antithesis – a humble deli owner who approaches the world with a level, loving maturity – couldn’t be more obvious, yet the two actors hit a sweet spot of laid-back candor in their scenes together.
