Description
Bernard (
Jeff Daniels), an intellectual snob who was once a great novelist, has now settled into university life. But when wife Joan (
Laura Linney) discovers a writing talent of her own, jealousy divides the family and their sons Walt (
Jesse Eisenberg) and Frank (Owen Kline) choose sides - Walt with his dad and Frank with his mother. But then Joan starts seeing her younger son's tennis coach (
William Baldwin), and Bernard starts romancing Lili (
Anna Paquin), a female student Walt also likes. In THE SQUID AND THE WHALE, life doesn't let anyone - child or parent - off the hook.
