ABOUT THE HOLLARS:

Starring John Krasinski, Margo Martindale, Anna Kendrick, Sharlto Copley, Charlie Day, Josh Groban, Richard Jenkins, Randall Park, Mary Elizabeth Winstead

John Hollar, a struggling NYC artist is forced to navigate the small middle-American town he left behind when news of his mother’s illness brings him home. Back in the house he grew up in, John is immediately swept up in the problems of his dysfunctional family, high school rival, and an over-eager ex-girlfriend as he faces impending fatherhood with his girlfriend in New York.

From a script by Jim Strouse that is at turns hilarious and heartbreaking, John Krasiniski’s second feature is a poignant look at the bonds of family and friendship.
