Watch: Smart People 2008 123movies, Full Movie Online – Lawrence Wetherhold is miserable and misanthropic: he’s a widower, a pompous professor at Carnegie Mellon, an indifferent father to a college student and a high-school senior, and the reluctant brother of a ne’er-do-well who’s come to town. A seizure and a fall send Lawrence to the emergency room where the physician, a former student of his, ends up going on a date with him. His daughter, Vanessa, lonely and friendless, who’s been bonding with his brother, tries to sabotage dad and the doctor’s relationship, but Lawrence is good at that without help. Is there any way these smart people can get a life? Can happiness be pursued beneath layers of irony?.
Plot: Professor Lawrence Wetherhold might be imperiously brilliant, monumentally self-possessed and an intellectual giant — but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he’s as downright flummoxed as the next guy.

Good, but don’t go in expecting a comedy
When I saw “Smart People” the trailer, I have to say that the first thought that came into my mind is “Sideways: Part 2”. It had the same formula and characters. But I really wasn’t as into Sideways as everyone else was, so I wasn’t so excited to see this movie. But today I just decided to go ahead and give it a chance, I’m more grown up since I’ve seen Sideways, so why not just see what the film had to offer? I have to say while the movie does not excite me, I also see it doesn’t excite too many people here on IMDb, it’s a decent enough movie and worth the watch. The solid performances make the film likable and the story is interesting to watch, while it’s not something that everyone can relate too, it’s a good movie.Lawerance is a college professor who isn’t the most popular guy on campus, he’s pompous, arrogant, and puts himself higher above his students while ignoring their plea’s for extra help on assignments. His son hates him, his daughter admires him and is quite the over achiever, and his adopted brother is a scam artist. But when Lawerance has an accident while jumping fence, he hits his head, and meets former student, Janet Hartigan. They start to date, his daughter, Vanessa, goes through her life realizing she’s never really had fun, and his adopted brother, Chuck needs this family just as much as Lawerance needs it.
Smart People, the major problem is that this was advertised as a comedy, it has some funny moments, but they’re not what you would call laugh out loud. I’d say this is more of a drama with comedic elements, kind of like “Dan in Real Life”, so Smart People didn’t have “Smart Advertisement”, but the movie is worth the watch. I would recommend it, it’s an interesting film, not thrilling, so I would recommend probably waiting for the rental. But the cast pulls the movie together and makes it into a good drama.
