Starring Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney, this drama written and directed by Noah Baumbach is semiautobiographical. The story is about how two boys—teenage Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) and his younger brother Frank (Owen Kline)—react to their parents' divorce. The parents, who are both writers and rather bohemian, are played by Daniels and Linney. The mother has an affair with a tennis pro (William Baldwin), while the father, who's an academic, gets into a sexual relationship with a student (Anna Paquin).
