Like Edward Bloom in Tim Burton's BIG FISH, James "Pop Up" Morse (Falk) is an aging storyteller who revels in spinning tall tales of his youthful adventures in a traveling circus. But while Pop Up's larger-than-life persona has charmed his young grandson Chris (Josh Hutcherson), his propensity for embellishment has alienated his own adult son Johnnie (WINGS' Tim Daly). So in a whimsical bid to both prove himself and heal the family rift, Pop Up escapes his staid retirement home and takes Chris on a cross-country road trip that not only reaffirms the past but offers some hope of reconciliation for the future.

Reviews for Wilder Days
