Then, one Thanksgiving, Sully's estranged son Peter (Dylan Walsh) comes to town, and Sully tries to repair their relationship, as well as be a grandfather to Peter's son Will (Alexander Goodwin).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This film was well received by critics, and Newman's performance is considered one of the best of his career.Not to be confused with the 1986 romantic comedy starring Rosanna Arquette and Eric Roberts, or the 2018 comedy directed by Tyler Perry and starring Tiffany Haddish. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Nobody's Fool / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: A couple of subplots, including Sully's girlfriend Ruth (and her daughter, a single mother), and the owner of the diner and her mother (the one who wanders out onto the street) are dropped entirely or condensed drastically, and a couple of the relationships are changed, but the movie basically captures the essence of the novel. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Nobody's Fool / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Sully's father was like this to Sully, which is why he doesn't want anything to do with his childhood home. It's part of the reason he quit being a father to Peter, afraid he might be just as abusive. | |
