Academy Award?-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen return to their comedy roots with this original and darkly humorous story about one ordinary man?s quest to become a serious man. Physics professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) can?t believe his life: His wife is leaving him for his best friend, his unemployed brother won?t move off the couch, someone is threatening his career, his kids are a mystery and his neighbor is tormenting him by sunbathing nude. Struggling to make sense of it all, Larry consults three different rabbis and their answers lead him on a twisted journey of faith, family, delinquent behavior and mortality in the film critics rave is "seriously awesome!" (Michael Hogan, Vanity Fair)
