365 Day Unseen Movie Marathon – Day 21 – TENURE (2009)

Title: Tenure

Written and Directed by: Mike Million

Current Flickchart position:  #526 of 1336 overall.  My #41 film, of 74, from the year 2009.

What It’s About:
A college professor (Luke Wilson) competes for tenure with a hot-shot female colleague (Gretchen Mol).

General Comments:
A nice little indie comedy featuring a very funny but understated performance by David Koechner.

I especially liked the dinner party scene with the college professors where Charlie (Luke Wilson) feels sort of out of place amongst all the academic nerds.  I could kind of put myself in a similar position with my profession, because I get the feeling that the only thing most other lawyers can or want to talk about is the law.  Their job defines their existence.  I certainly don’t think I’m that type of person and I think Charlie feels the same way.

Watch this film to see three charming actors, Wilson, Mol and Koechner in a nice heartwarming comedy.

Rating:  6/10
