The Magic of Belle Isle

Uniting with director Rob Reiner once again after hit film The Bucket List, Morgan Freeman plays Monte Wildhorn, a famous novelist whose struggle with alcoholism has sapped his passion for writing. Taking residence for the summer in a lakeside cabin in picturesque Belle Isle, Monte befriends the family next door - an attractive single mom (Virginia Madsen) and her young daughters - who re-invigorate his passions and help him find inspiration again. Freeman's portrayal of the crotchety Monte has him cast firmly against type, to hilarious comic effect. (Madman Entertainment)
