LATEST STORIES:
Are You Here

Are You Here is a comedy film written and directed by Matthew Weiner (creator of Mad Men). Owen Wilson stars as Steve Dallas, a local weatherman who finds out that his best friend Ben (Zach Galifianakis) has recently lost his father. Steve is there to console his buddy and travels with Ben to his hometown for the funeral proceedings. When they arrive Ben discovers that his father left the family’s fortune to him – a realization that Ben can’t cope with that easily. And the situation is made even more difficult with Ben’s furious sister and widow breathing down his neck. The film co-stars Amy Poehler and Laura Ramsey.
It was a bittersweet realization that prompted Weiner to write Are You Here. “I had reached a point in my life where I was happily married but had lost most of my male friendships. My wife was my best friend and is my best friend but a whole part of my life had disappeared. I started thinking about what holds people together and what that role is of friendship.” Even though the cast reads like a great comedic force, there may be more touching moments than laugh out loud ones.
Are You Here is rated 14A.
