| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Director Terry Kinney's delightfully poignant and bittersweet
comedy poses the question How much is a good memory worth
That's the question that faces newspaper editor Cooper (Matthew
Broderick) after a debilitating concussion takes him from
the political pages to comic strip detail. Looking for answers,
he travels home to Missouri where his now senile Uncle Rollie
(Alan Alda) is on the verge of losing his home.
When a valuable baseball card is thrown into the mix, these
two men along with a motley group of hometown friends, including
Cooper's high school sweetheart, Charlotte (Virginia Madsen)
, head to a memorabilia expo to make the deal of a century,
diving headfirst into a snakepit of slick salesmen, crooked
dealers, and rabid fans revealing that there are some things
in life that you can't put a price on. Diminished Capacity
also stars Dylan Baker, Louis C.K. and Bobby Cannavale in
hilarious supporting roles.
