Summary of Meet Bill

Aaron Eckhart (THANK YOU FOR SMOKING) stars in this dramedy about a man whose life is less than impressive. He's miserable in his job, his wife (Elizabeth Banks, DEFINITELY, MAYBE) may be having an affair with the local newsman, and he's unhappy with his growing gut. When he begins to mentor a student, his own life surprisingly starts to make sense, though that may also have something to do with the arrival of a sexy young woman (Jessica Alba).
