Sam the Man Summary
Director: Gary Winick
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Before he broke out with the J.D. Salinger-esque Tadpole in 2002, producer-turned-director Gary_Winick filmed this little-seen relationship drama. Fisher_Stevens stars as the title character, a writer with one novel under his belt who can't seem to deliver the follow-up. Instead, he spends his time compulsively cheating on his photographer girlfriend, Cass (Annabella_Sciorra); giving the runaround to his agent, Richard (Ron_Rifkin); and trying to keep his landlord, Murray (Luis_Guzman), at bay. Things take a turn for the worse when the husband of one of Sam's conquests (Maria_Bello) confronts him, leaving Sam covered in hard-to-explain injuries. Soon, with the help of his barkeep brother, Lorenzo (Saverio_Guerra), Sam is holding down a day job for the first time in years and reexamining every aspect of his life. After the success of Tadpole, the Independent Film Channel picked up Sam the Man for broadcast on cable television. The film's cast, filled with notable and lesser-known New York actors, includes George_Plimpton, Griffin_Dunne, and Rob_Morrow. Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
