Nick Flynn| in his 20s| hasn't found his place in the world yet| but hopes to be a writer. Around the time he takes a job at a homeless shelter in Boston| his
father| Jonathan| who considers himself a great writer and who hasn't see Nick in years| abruptly makes fleeting contact. A few months later| the down-and-out
Jonathan shows up at Nick's shelter and becomes a resident. This disorients Nick; he doesn't handle it well| compounded by Jonathan's belligerent behavior. Nick's
memories of his mother| his budding relationship with a co-worker| and his own demons make things worse. Can anything improve? Is he his father's son?
 Robert De Niro gives a sincere, gripping performance, but Being Flynn is an uneasy mix of drama and comedy that fails to emotionally resonate as a whole.
