The Great Buck Howard is a comedy-drama directed by Sean McGinly, headlining Colin Hanks and Emily Blunt.
The film is the story of Troy Gable (Colin Hanks), who after dropping out of law school takes a job as a road manager for a mentalist at the tail end of his career, in hopes of getting into the entertainment industry.
Tom Hanks plays the father to his real-life son's character.
The film premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2008.
Talking about his role in the film Tom Hanks said during his New York promotions of the film, "I selfishly attached myself as the dad,"
"I didn't even ask Colin, I just said: 'Hey listen, I'd like to play the dad'. He kind of rolled his eyes and said, 'Well yeah, I can see why.' And that was that."
