The Silver Bullet ~ The Sessions

by Joe Silver Bullet - Trailer Park • Tags: Fox Searchlight, Helen Hunt, john hawkes, logo, Sessions, Studio, Trailer, william H. Macy

Synopsis: A man in an iron lung who wishes to lose his virginity contacts a professional sex surrogate with the help of his therapist and priest.

Release Date: October 26, 2012

Thoughts:  For all of you out there that can’t sleep at night because you are wondering what became of Helen Hunt, the trailer for The Sessions should calm you down.  I still hold a grudge toward Hunt for winning an Oscar for As Good As It Gets…but time does heal all wounds and I’m almost whole.  Hunt teams with character actor John Hawkes in a comedy(?) that is nothing if not original in concept.  I’m not sure how many laughs can be mined out of a middle-aged iron lung-ed man who comes to sex surrogate Hunt to lose his virginity…but it’s possible the yuk-yuks could spring naturally from the circumstances.
