Directors: Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris Calvin (Paul Dano) is suffering from writer's block, which would not be so bad if the rabid fans of his debut work of fiction were not so anxious for him to legitimize his status as literary genius. It has been ten long years since a 19-year-old Calvin took the literary scene by storm; his legions of fans have not forgotten him, but they seem to be growing increasingly impatient. Dr. Rosenthal (Elliott Gould) is working with Calvin to snap him out of his rut, which seems at least partially rooted in his inability to get over his ex-girlfriend, Saskia (Jane Anne Thomas). Having only one friend -- his brother Harry (Chris Messina) -- Calvin is painfully shy. Calvin recently got a dog named Scotty in the hopes of using the oh-so-cute canine as a conversation-starter with women. Unfortunately, Scotty has assumed his owner's awkward shyness.
