Location: Beverley Hills, CA
Summary: Life in academia hasn’t turned out quite the way English professor Charlie Thurber (Luke Wilson) dreamed it would. He’s an inspiration to his students, but his notable lack of political skills has kept his career on a slow track. Now it looks like Charlie finally has a shot at tenure—until a Yale PhD. (Gretchen Mol) joins the small private college’s teaching staff and threatens to eclipse him. His well-meaning best friend (David Koechner), an anthropology professor specializing in Sasquatch sightings, launches an utterly misguided stealth campaign to promote Charlie’s cause. Meanwhile, Charlie’s sister is pressuring him to spend more time with their aging father, a former star professor who can’t hide his disappointment in Charlie’s stalled career. To complicate matters further, Charlie finds himself attracted to his new competitor. A very funny and uplifting look at a man who reaches a crossroads in his life, and learns he must draw the map himself, TENURE stars Luke Wilson (OLD SCHOOL), Gretchen Mol (3:10 TO YUMA) and David Koechner (TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE LEGEND OF RICKY BOBBY).
**Couldn't find trailer - seems like movie is still pretty early, but has big star Luke Wilson.
