Bill (Aaron Eckhart) is fed up with his life, wife (Elizabeth Banks), and job. He finds himself the reluctant mentor of an unruly teenager (Logan Lerman). His life hits an all time low when he catches his wife having an affair with a local news anchor, but with the kid as his inspiration, he regains his lost sense of self.

The film was shot in St. Louis, Missouri from June 11 - July 20, 2006; the school scenes of the film were shot at Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School (MICDS) and additional scenes were filmed at Washington University in St. Louis. Although shot in the St. Louis area, the setting of the movie is Minnesota, as indicated by the license plates of vehicles, and a "Twin Cities Realty" for-sale sign.

The film officially premiered on September 8, 2007 at the Toronto International Film Festival and was immediately picked up for distribution.

Lindsay Lohan was originally cast as "Lucy", but she dropped out because of "creative differences". She was replaced by Jessica Alba.

Amanda Peet was also going to star in the film as well, but dropped out around the same time that Lohan did as well. Peet was instantly replaced by Elizabeth Banks.
