Solitary Man (2009) starring Michael Douglas, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito, Mary-Louise Parker, Jenna Fischer, Imogen Poots, Jesse Eisenberg. Douglas stars as Ben Kalmen, a failed car dealership owner who is emerging from trouble with the law and trying to put together another dealership. He's also an inveterate womanizer, who is not above sleeping with his girlfriend's (Parker) daughter (Poots). Kalmen's poor choices continue to get him deeper and deeper in trouble, and it gives Douglas a chance to show off his acting chops. DeVito co-stars as a genuinely decent man, which is certainly a change for him. The ending of the movie is kind of a cop-out, but it's interesting watching it get there. Good subtitles. Grade: B
