Richard Dunn (Jeff Daniels) is a failed writer, a failed husband and a failed adult. In an attempt to rescue his marriage, career and life, he adjourns to a quiet cottage in the Hamptons to complete his latest novel. Unfortunately, he is not alone: he's followed everywhere by Captain Excellent (Ryan Reynolds), an imaginary friend he has been unable to shake since childhood. Confronted at every turn with signs of his shortcomings, Richard finds comfort in an unlikely friendship with a neighborhood teen and fellow lost soul (Emma Stone). Directors Michele and Kieran Mulroney craft a perfect marriage of imaginative absurdism and true-to-life emotion in this darkly comic "coming-of-middle-age" story, set against the picturesque backdrop of Montauk in winter.

Michele Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney (a husband and wife team) are the writers of Warner Bros' JUSTICE LEAGUE, SLEEPING FATHER and EQUALS. They are first time directors.
