Jeff Daniels plays Richard, a failed novelist suffering from writer's block who strikes up a friendship with a young woman (played by Emma Stone). Also starring is Ryan Reynolds, who plays a costumed superhero that exists only in Richard's mind. Lisa Kudrow is co-starring, and the film opens April 23, 2010.
