A lonely man finds friendship in the last place he expected in this gentle comedy from writer/director Ed Simpson. A serious man with no buddies to speak of, Joel Bixby (John Cariani) moves to a smaller town and strikes up a friendship with vociferous senior Leo Applegate (Edward Asner). As soon as Leo invites Joel to join a smaller group of men who regularly gather in a modest room to exchange stories, Joel sees it like a good opportunity to occur out of his shell. But the more time that Joel spends in the group, the clearer it becomes that he was chosen to fill the space left by a dearly departed member who is deeply missed by his old friends. Regardless, the anxious newcomer gradually gets far more comfortable with his new circle of friends, which includes not just fast-food loving Leo but the comfortably feminine Dink (Jack Kehler), spiritually conflicted former cleric Perry Elephant Sighs 2012(David Wells), and mercurial Nick (Mark Fite), an out-of-work local whos convinced his greatest days are behind him. More than the course of their normal meetings some thing amazing happens to reclusive Joel he finally realizes that even lifes biggest problems dont seem incredibly so negative as soon as youve got buddies to fall back on within your time of need.
