'The Holdovers' Trailer: Paul Giamatti's Grumpy Teacher Makes Unlikely Friends
Focus Features has released a trailer for its upcoming feature The Holdovers that reunites director Alexander Payne with actor Paul Giamatti after 2004’s wine-tasting road trip comedy Sideways. While the director is well known for his dark humor and satirical depictions of contemporary society, the upcoming film seems more like a slice-of-life piece and revolves around the unlikely relationship between a grumpy instructor and his student at a New England prep school.
The trailer gives us a look at Giamatti's strict teacher, Mr. Hunam, who is forced to remain at the school during the winter break to babysit several students. It’s pretty clear that he’s disliked by his students and colleagues alike and he doesn’t like them much either. Things change when he starts bonding with one of the students, Angus, coming from a troubled household. As Hunam lays it out “I find the world a bitter and complicated place and it seems to feel the same way about me.
What’s The Holdovers About? As the trailer explains, the kids who have nowhere to go during the Holidays are called “the holdovers.” In a sense, Mr Hunam and his student both are unwanted by the people around them which becomes the basis for the bonding between the two. The movie follows Giamatti’s curmudgeonly instructor at the prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break.
RELATED: 'Billions’ Season 7: Premiere Date, Trailer, Plot Details, and What to Expect With a heartwarming premise, grounded characters and dynamic performers, The Holdovers is one movie to watch out for.
