Lawrence, a socially inept 17-year-old cinephile, gets
a job at a video store, where he forms a complicated
friendship with his older female manager.
Unpopular Marge Bickford (Jess Gabor) is having a
tough time navigating the minefield that is her high
school. But Marge’s life is upended when her beloved
mother (Judy Greer) unexpectedly passes away. Marge
decides to hunt down her estranged father (Steve
Zahn), a faded ex-soccer star living in rural Mexico as
a tequila aficionado and coach to the local women’s
futbol team. Somehow these two misfits learn to play
the game of life…both hoping that a family can be put
back together, even if all you have are the missing pieces.
