The movie: "Win Win"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, Bobby Cannavale, Jeffrey Tambor, Burt Young

Director: Thomas McCarthy

The story: Moonlighting as a high school wrestling coach, a small-time lawyer stumbles on a star athlete through some questionable business practices and looks forward to a big payday -- until the boy's out-of-rehab mother shows up, threatening to derail his plans.
