Win Win

Win Win (2010) starring Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan. Hapless part-time wrestling coach Mike (Giamatti), who is also a lawyer, gets named guardian to an old man named Leo. Mike is after the monthly stipend of $1,500, but in the bargain ends up playing host to Leo's grandson, Kyle. Kyle, it turns out, is a talented wrestler. Unfortunately, just as he is entering his big wrestling match, his mother -- fresh out of rehab -- shows up wanting to take him home. This is not a simple, feel-good movie, but it delivers emotionally. There are funny moments, but also very serious moments. Giamatti and Ryan deliver strong performances. The disc has English subtitles for the hearing-impaired, as well as closed captions. Grade: B
