The Professor

Aging, stodgy academic Richard (Johnny Depp) was quite resigned to classrooms full of posers and sustaining a loveless marriage to Veronica (Rosemarie DeWitt) for the sake of daughter Olivia (Odessa Young). After being told he has a year at the most to live, however, he resolves to spend it on his terms--and brings measures of comic disruption and crystal clarity to both home and campus. Telling comedy-drama also stars Danny Huston, Ron Livingston, Zoey Deutch, Siobhan Fallon Hogan. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
