"Based on Mordecai Richler's award winning novel, Barney's Version is the warm, wise and witty story of the politically incorrect life of Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti), who meets the love of his life (Rosamund Pike) at his wedding - and she is not the bride. A candid confessional, told from Barney's point of view, the film spans three decades and two continents, and includes three wives (Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, and Rachelel Lefevre), one outrageous father (Dustin Hoffman), an a charmingly dissolute best friend (Scott Speedman). Barney's Version takes us trhough the many highs - and a few too many lows - of a long and colorful life with an unlikely hero at its center - the unforgettable Barney Panofsky."--Container.
