Richard then meets local 17-year-old high school student Abbey (Stone), who is haunted by her own past, and the two begin to form a friendship and help each other grow over the course of a winter under the disapproving eye of Richard’s estranged wife (Kudrow).Not to be confused with the Disney animated short Paperman.

Advertised Extra: Most of the posters for the movie make it appear as though Ryan Reynolds is the main character rather than a supporting role.

Last of His Kind: Richard tells Abbey about how he is the last of his family bloodline because he is childless, which is why he relates to the last Heath Hen.
