Solitary Man

Drama
3 stars
Michael Douglas stars as a one man train wreck who can’t help but sabotage himself. He destroyed his marriage (to Susan Sarandon), cheats on his girlfriend (Mary-Louise Parker) and ran his once successful business into the ground. Co-stars include Imogen Poots as his girlfriend’s daughter, Jenna Fischer as his own daughter, Jesse Eisenberg as a young college student, and Danny Devito as an old college buddy. Interesting premise, but I’m just not into movies where the main characters are not likeable and continue to make bad decisions. Good acting, irksome story.
