The Visitor
Feral Boy recommends seeing The Visitor. Director Thomas McCarthy's follow-up to The Station Agent stars Richard Jenkins as an effete university professor who discovers an illegal immigrant couple squatting in his NYC apartment. Befriending the Senegalese woman and her Syrian boyfriend leads to an unexpected transformation in his life. Better than it sounds. You'll be left wondering who is the real visitor in this story?

Sounds interesting. I heard the title and thought it was a new Judd Apatow movie: Jonah Hill/Seth Rogen has to grow up fast when confronted with his first serious girlfriend's monthly "visitor". Poster art of Jonah Hill/Seth Rogen looking dejected on park bench.
Apatow changed the title of his new movie to "The English Have Landed", which is a rough translation of a phrase French women use to refer to their period. Needless to say, the movie is about an American boor (played by Seth Rogan) who wins over a sophisticated French girlfriend by being vulnerably boorish.
You'll be left wondering: Who is the real boor in this story?
