Smart People - Trailer

Smart People is the story of Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid, Far From Heaven) a widowed, imperiously brilliant, and self-absorbed literature professor who has alienated his son (Ashton Holmes, A History of Violence) and turned his teenage daughter (Ellen Page, Juno) into an acid-tongued, friendless overachiever. Watch the trailer!

After a hit to the head he falls for doctor, and former student, Janet (SARAH JESSICA PARKER,The Family Stone, Sex and the City), at the same time, his ne’er-do-well brother (THOMAS HADEN CHURCH, Sideways) unexpectedly shows up at his door, low on cash and needing a place to stay. The circumstances cause Laurence to stir from his deep, deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking, consequences for himself and everyone around him.



Smart People is released in UK cinemas on 16th May 2008.
