I recently found this movie online and I'm so glad I watched it. The Wendell Baker Story was not a hit when it was released but it should have been. This is a heartwarming love story with interesting characters and it's really funny. There were several scenes that made me laugh out loud.
Wendell (Luke Wilson) is a con man who gets sent to jail and loses his true love. When he's released he goes to work at a nursing home run by an evil guy (Owen Wilson). Wendell bonds with the older patients and they help him try to win his girlfriend back.
The movie was written and directed by Luke Wilson. He gives a wonderful performance as Wendell and it's always fun to see him work with Owen. There are also great performances from Seymour Cassell, Harry Dean Stanton, Will Ferrell, and Eva Mendes. Also look out for "Brother Wilson" - Luke's adorable real life dog.
I highly recommend watching The Wendell Baker Story. It's a very enjoyable film (and the soundtrack is great too).
