Movie Story
Meet Bill (Aaron Eckhart) - a doormat if ever there was one. A man reduced to a mere accessory to his family by working a dead end job at his father-in law's bank and arguing about his overindulgent love for chocolate with his wife Jess (Elizabeth Banks) who is loathe to explain her "friendship" with the local news anchorman (Timothy Olyphant). But Bill's fate begins to change when he becomes mentor to a self-assured boy (Logan Lerman) who engineers Bill's recovery with the help of a cute lingerie sales girl named Lucy (Jessica Alba). Together, the trio confronts Bill's hapless life with humor and energy while forcing him to capture his dream of being financially independent and self-confident. "Meet Bill" is a film about what it means to let go of your inhibitions and find the path you're destined for.

posted by consultant on Jul 19, 2008I don't know what ails those that trashed this movie but I found it to be one of the best this year. Great movie!
posted by richard on Jul 23, 2008..a real gem in my world is this movie...i absolutely love every single msg it sends out..ppl should def watch it as it (i feel strongly about) can relate to almost all ppl in this world! ie to assist those that havent been able to come out of a crisis period lived..simple connections with some ppl in yr life that arent meant to be elaborated on..how to respond to an unfaithful partner (most infidelity movies have similar responses shown ie getting partner back via divorce, children etc what this movie focussed on was an example of how couples breaking up should proceed ie emotionally, mentally re life choices & personal identity ) ..how to interact with the opposite sex was another and the list goes on... I didnt expect much from this movie but after having watched it I realised that I had been falling in love with the movie gradually & was sooo wrong in my initial judgement (another american comedy/romance/drama blah blah).. I have since been recommending it to all my movie buff friends & acquaintences.. The simple yet obvious msgs throughout the movie inspired me to move on in my life & make the right choices for me.. An age old saying "Know Thyself"... Peace
