Finding Neighbors
2013 American film
Finding Neighbors is a 2013 American independent comedy drama film directed by Ron Judkins. This adult comedic drama is the story of a formerly acclaimed graphic novelist who goes looking for a true connection outside of his marriage, and just over his fence. Six months late on a book delivery, Sam (Michael O'Keefe) has succumbed to a full-on midlife and creative crisis. Sherrie (Julie Mond), the provocative girl-next-door, offers him an easy and willing distraction. But it is Sam's budding friendship with another neighbor (Blake Bashoff), a gay man, that ultimately helps him reconnect with his creativity. Sam, however, reveals nothing of this to his wife (Catherine Dent), and as he begins to change, she becomes increasingly suspicious about what's going on in the neighborhood.
