I can talk ad nauseum about how good A.C.O.D. is but it comes down to one, small thing. This is the film where Adam Scott becomes a leading man. Scott, who has been a lead on TV, usually plays the small, scene stealing role in films. But when writer director Stu Zicherman was asked about…

When a first-time director can bring together a hugely impressive cast, it's pretty obvious the movie is something special.

The film stars Adam Scott as an adult child of divorce, who weaves his way through life between parents who hate each other (Richard Jenkins and Catherine O’Hara).

Any film fan should make it a point to attend the Sundance Film Festival at least once. Words can hardly describe the beauty of Park City, the camaraderie of the attendees, the smooth running machine that plays dozens of movies a day on screens all over town. And those movies.

With three days remaining, A.C.O.D. is my favorite film of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by first-timer Stuart Zicherman, it's about "Adult Children of Divorce" and stars Adam Scott as Carter, a man whose parents (Richard Jenkins and Catherine O'Hara) had a brutal breakup on his 9th birthday. Decades later his brother (Clark Duke)…

Amy Poehler and Adam Scott have shown such fantastic chemistry in NBC's Parks & Recreation that the pair are gearing up to work together again. This time, however, they won't be romancing each other -- far from it. Poehler has entered talks to join Scott in A.C.O.D., in which he plays a man named Carter…

Armie Hammer has been working his clean-cut golden boy looks to his advantage in The Social Network, J. Edgar, and the upcoming Mirror, Mirror, but the latest addition to his slate will see him transforming into a bit more of a "badass." Hammer will bulk up and shave his head to star with Eric Bana in…
