Divorced, disconnected from his young son, dissatisfied with his love life, depressed and in the doldrums of middle age, he decides to make a radical change by walking away from his old life. He buys a new identity and hits the road as Arthur Newman to begin life anew, bound for Terre Haute, Indiana, where he dreams of reinventing himself as a golf pro at a tiny country club.

His road trip is derailed by Michaela ‘Mike’ Fitzgerald (Emily Blunt). Mike sees through Arthur’s identity scam and soon enough Arthur sees through her. She’s a kleptomaniac fleeing from domestic turmoil of her own. Soon romance blossoms on the road as the unexpected couple infiltrates the lives of random strangers as a way of better grasping their own waylaid lives. Painful secrets unfold and new lives takes shape.

‘Arthur Newman’ is in theaters April 26th.

In select theaters on April 26th, Arthur Newman could be 2013′s little film that could, and it may just become an audience favorite. Starring Colin Firth and Emily Blunt, two of today’s best, the film centers around a golfer who wakes up unhappy with where is life is. Divorced, and with a golf career that isn’t going well, he decides to take on a new identity, and meets Mike (Blunt). The pair go on something of an “identity spree,” and fall for each other.

Written by Academy Award® nominee Becky Johnston (Seven Years in Tibet, Prince of Tides), this one looks like a winner, and (credit where due) has one of the better trailers I’ve seen in a while.

Also, you’ve got to love a movie that points us at Terre Haute.
