Stuck in Love
Writer-director Josh Boone populates Stuck in Love with smart characters breaking from emotional holding patterns of varying contours.
Stuck in Love
Three years past his divorce, veteran novelist Bill Borgens can’t stop obsessing over his ex-wife Erica, who ignominiously left him for another man.

As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings.
