Additional InformationWritten and directed by brothers Luke and Andrew Wilson, THE WENDELL BAKER STORY is a comedy about a former conman with a heart of gold. Wendell has a way with people, but fails to make the most of his charms, choosing instead to sell fake ID cards to illegal Mexican immigrants with the help of his partner-in-crime Reyes (Jacob Vargas). When the scam inevitably backfires, Wendell is sent to prison where he plays his popularity like a 'get out of jail free' card. Having had some time to reflect upon his life, Wendell emerges from prison a reformed character, eager to win back the love (Eva Mendes) he previously took for granted and drove into the arms of a grocery store manager (Will Ferrell). After expressing interest in the hotel business, Wendell is assigned to work at a retirement home poorly run by a corrupt mother and son (Owen Wilson) duo. Wendell makes the most of the situation, finding unexpected wisdom in the elderly people he is caring for, played with spunk by Seymour Cassel and Harry Dean Stanton.<BR>Earning mixed reviews, THE WENDELL BAKER STORY is subdued compared to many of the loud comedies the Wilson's are known for. The film's anti-Hollywood, grainy 1970s aesthetic and its laid back tone may be a jolt to viewers expecting a typical Wilson romp. Deeply invested in its southern location, the Austin, Texas-set feature could pass as a spin-off of television's MY NAME IS EARL. But thankfully the raunchiness here comes from the cast's older members--talented comedians all--who deliver their lines with the slow pace of age and just the right amount of zestiness.
