Meet Bill (Aaron Eckhart) - a doormat if ever there was one. A man reduced to a mere accessory to his family by working a dead end job at his father-in law s bank and arguing about his overindulgent love for chocolate with his wife Jess (Elizabeth Banks) who is loathe to explain her friendship with the local news anchorman (Timothy Olyphant). But Bill's fate begins to change when he becomes mentor to a self-assured boy (Logan Lerman) who engineers Bill s recovery with the help of a cute lingerie sales girl named Lucy (Jessica Alba). Together, the trio confronts Bill s hapless life with humor and energy while forcing him to capture his dream of being financially independent and self-confident. MEET BILL is a film about what it means to let go of your inhibitions and find the path you re destined for. (official distributor synopsis)

I don't even know if the film was about a mid-life crisis or about how it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Either way, I enjoyed Bill. It wasn't an action movie, and it wasn't even fast-paced, in fact, I enjoyed the slower pace. Aaron Eckhart gave a very natural performance, and the rest of the cast followed suit. When I started to feel a cliché coming on, the filmmakers didn’t push it too hard and let the story flow. There was nothing that irritated me about the movie, and I even realized I had a goofy smile on my face a few times, so I’m not going to act like I’m a ruthless film critic and I’ll admit that I had a great time.
