Stuck in Love is a 2012 romantic drama film directed by Josh Boone and starring Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Lily Collins, Nat Wolff, and Logan Lerman. The film follows the Borgens, a family of writers living in a seaside town in North Carolina.
The patriarch of the family, William Borgens (Kinnear), is a successful novelist who is still in love with his ex-wife, Erica (Connelly), a fellow writer who has since moved on and married another man. Despite their divorce, William cannot let go of his feelings for Erica and remains stuck in the past.
Meanwhile, their teenage daughter, Samantha (Collins), is a budding writer herself who is jaded about love after witnessing her parents' messy breakup. She begrudgingly attends a writing workshop where she meets Lou (Lerman), a sweet and sensitive classmate who has a crush on her.
In the midst of all this, William is also trying to navigate his relationship with a younger woman, Tricia (Kristen Bell), while Erica grapples with her own feelings for her husband and for William. Throughout the film, the characters must come to terms with the complexities of love in all its forms and learn to move forward from their past hurts.
Stuck in Love received mixed reviews from critics but was praised for its strong performances and thoughtful exploration of love and family.
