A Month of Sundays is a 2015 film starring Anthony LaPaglia.[1]

Plot

Frank Mollard, a housing broker, is divorced but can't move on or connect with his teenage son. One night, Mollard gets a phone call from his mother, which is strange since she died the year before. It turns out to be a wrong number, but the two characters develop a real human connection that was missing from both their lives.

Cast

Reception

Despite no approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, A Month of Sundays was met with mixed reviews from critics and audiences.

Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian wrote "Situations, subplots and even barely seen characters are unified with an almost cosmic sense of fate."[citation needed] David Nusair of Reel Film Reviews wrote "One can only hope that this marks a temporary stumble for an otherwise talented filmmaker."[citation needed] Ben Kenigsberg of Variety called the film "so tidily plotted, so committed to its improve-thyself epiphanies, that it never transcends its own artifice."[citation needed]
