The latest KCET Cinema Series selection is a quintessential comedy starring Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Lily Collins and Logan Lerman. It will be screening on Tuesday, July 2 at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica.

The central character is prominent novelist Bill Borgens (Greg Kinnear) who is struggling to keep his life on track while he obsesses over his ex-wife (Jennifer Connelly) who left him for another man.

Even as his neighbor-with-benefits, Tricia (Kristen Bell), tries to push him back into the dating pool, he remains blind to anyone else's charms. Meanwhile, his fiercely independent collegiate daughter Samantha (Lily Collins) is publishing her first novel while recoiling at the very thought of first love with a diehard romantic (Logan Lerman); and his teen son Rusty (Nat Wolff) is trying to find his voice, both as a fantasy writer and as the unexpected boyfriend of a dream girl with unsettlingly real problems.

As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings.
