Luke Wilson writes and directs (along with his brother, Andrew Wilson) this comedy about a former conman with a heart of gold. Wendell has a way with people, but fails to make the most of his charms, making his money by selling fake ID cards to illegal Mexican immigrants with the help of his partner-in-crime Reyes (Jacob Vargas). When this scam inevitably fails, Wendell Baker is off to jail, where he quickly becomes popular and gets parole. Having had some time to think, Wendell eventually emerges from prison a new man, eager to win back the love (Eva Mendes) he previously took for granted, and who has moved on to a grocery store manager (Will Ferrell). After expressing interest in the hotel business, Wendell is assigned to work at a retirement home run poorly by a corrupt mother and son (Owen Wilson) duo. Wendell makes the most of the situation, finding unexpected wisdom in the elderly people he is caring for, played with spunk by Seymour Cassel and Harry Dean Stanton.
