Movie Haiku:Low-key meditation on the American Dream set in a Phoenix suburb. Nick (Ferrell) has been an ace salesman but pressure to succeed lead to drinking & disgrace. Is it too late to pick up the pieces? Solid character study grounded by excellent performances all around make it clear that Nick is basically a very good guy, so despite his flaws, we root for him.
