A journey that results not only in changing himself, but the world around him.

Director: Thomas McCarthy (Win Win, The Visitor, Up, Station Agent) , the film stars Adam Sandler (Grown Ups, Click), two-time Academy Award Winner and five-time Oscar nominee Dustin Hoffman (Meet the Fockers, Rain Man, The Graduate), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire, Fargo, Reservoir Dogs), Melonie Diaz (Fruitvale Station, Be Kind Rewind), Method Man (Redtails, How High), Ellen Barkin (Brooklyn's Finest, Oceans 13,Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas).
