Sorry for Your Loss

Ken Wall is quietly miserable in his life. He hates his job in marketing for a small brewery and especially hates his boss, Richard. Ken and his wife Lori have just had their first child, a still-unnamed son. Lori has postpartum depression in addition to having some new-mom physical issues, but is still doing all the proverbial lifting in parenting as Ken has not taken to the father role. Amid this turmoil, Ken reluctantly heads back to his hometown, Winnipeg, Manitoba upon the news that his father Andy, from whom he's been estranged ever since his parents' divorce, has died from an aneurysm. Ken plans to get in and out of Winnipeg as soon as possible, but while there he meets two others in Andy's regular golf foursome: Vince Kendall and Jeff Steadman; Vince is the lawyer handling Andy's will, and Jeff is the executor of his will. Ken learns that he gets the entire undisclosed amount of Andy's estate and then learns that the amount is sizable. Lori wants the money as a trust fund for their son, while Ken eyes at least part of it to start his dream business of a gastropub or brewpub. In order to inherit anything, Ken must scatter his father's cremated remains onto the field of the major-league football stadium Investor's Field in two days. He isn't able to do so officially, so with Jeff largely by his side, he must find a way to honor his father's last wishes. In the process, Ken might take a different view of his own life in learning more about his father, reconnecting with his college buddy and fellow brand-new father Cam, and discovering the true reason for Andy's wish.

Two Weeks Notice

1 hr 41 mins
Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development project near her childhood Coney Island home where her parents still live. Although Lucy is able to effect the type of change she wanted from this position, she finds she cannot deal with George's expectations of her, namely being his primary confidante and advisor at all hours of the day and night, mostly about issues she considers frivolous. As such, she gives him two weeks notice, although she promises to help George find her replacement. As Lucy begins to review resumes, George himself unilaterally decides to hire June Carver, a fellow Harvardite, but who seems to have her sights set on George as both a boss and personal partner. As June begins to replace Lucy in seemingly all aspects of George's life, Lucy begins to realize that she herself has fallen for George. However, Lucy's feelings for George and her attempts to re-ingratiate herself into George's life are placed into jeopardy when she learns of a Wade Corporation decision against her basic sensibilities.
