Movie #292 "The Good Life: is a movie I would be proud to have made. It's about a guy in his 20s who can't catch a break --- he finds he is a caretaker of his newly widowed mother along with his boss at the movie theatre. He also has some disease that has taken all his hair and he can't afford the electric bill so he lives in a freezing house....and the list goes on. But one day a bright spot walks into his life in the form of Zooey Deschanel (have I said she is delightful in all the movies I have seen her in?) and life looks like it is beginning to turn for him. It's one of those depressing indies, but the ending is worth all the drabbiness he and the viewer go through. Worth a look see, in my opinion.

In this coming-of-age drama -- a 2007 Sundance selection -- a young movie theater employee (Mark Webber) has trouble adjusting to life in a small football-crazed Nebraska town. He finds a kindred spirit in the form of Frances (Zooey Deschanel), who pushes him to forge his own path. The supporting cast includes Chris Klein as a onetime high school football star, Harry Dean Stanton as the movie theater owner and Bill Paxton as a Judy Garland fan.
