So my dad told me about a movie he caught at glimpse of that he wants to finish. He says it was about some kind of writer/author with a wife that wants him to move on from the book he is trying to write. He ends up kissing some other, more encouraging woman. My mom said something about him not going to the funeral of his wife's aunt(my dad thought it was his mother in law). My dad said the the male lead was a famous actor and that he would recognize his face. It is probably a relatively recent movie. Anyone here have any suggestions for what it might be?

Wonder Boys?

I thought so too, but when I showed my dad this: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1275370496/tt0185014?ref_=tt_ov_i

He insisted that was not it.

Edit:

It was apparently not The Words/ Dennis Quaid either.

The Dark Half, Timothy Hutton

Writer's Block

I'm using your information here: IMDB advanced search

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys. But none of you seem to have found the correct one so far.

Edit:

I should also add that my dad said the couple in the movie is young.

I know. I mentioned it because it was on the other night and when he said his father just saw it, that came to mind. Sure it wasn't a porno?

Mystery solved it was A Perfect Day / Rob Lowe: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0839949/?ref_=nv_sr_177

I found out by finding a online TV guide for the channel in question and going back to yesterday. YAY!.

I suggest you pick one random contributor to this thread and make him/her the solver of the question. Unsolved question threads bugs me. ;)

In that case I should get it. I mentioned a porno and Rob Lowe was in a porno. :P
