Besides Affleck, the cast includes Tye Sheridan (“Ready Player One”), Emmy Award winner Christopher Lloyd (“Nobody”), Lily Rabe (“American Horror Story”), Max Martini (“Pacific Rim”), and introduces child actor Daniel Ranieri as the younger version of Sheridan’s character whose Long Island upbringing with an absentee father is chronicled in the movie. The film is based on the 2005 memoir of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winning author/journalist J.R. Moehringer, whose articles were previously the basis for Rod Lurie’s 2007 film “Resurrecting the Champ.”
The Tender Bar Trailer
Here is the official synopsis:
“The Tender Bar tells the story of J.R. (Sheridan), a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie (Affleck), is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother (Rabe) struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father (Christopher Lloyd) — J.R. begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams — with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar. The Tender Bar is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name by J.R. Moehringer.”
