He started his own business with his best friend from college, Harry Muddled. Everything was going perfectly until John's life went downhill. He realized his best friend was a lying backstabber and his wife has actually been cheating on him with Sammy, a young 20-year-old male. Through all of this time, John had to resort to alcohol becoming a depressed recluse. The movie is told through the eyes of Mary Amiss and her true feelings of John but does she really know whom John really is? Does anyone know who John is? Does he even know who he is? Who is John Amiss?

What the press would say:

Robin Williams is back with his best role ever playing a character that everyone can relate to. His performance will make you laugh and feel bad for him at the same time. Alan Ball built up each character so well and definitely concentrated on their well-beings putting one of the best character development works ever made in Hollywood history. Having Will Ferrell puts in a performance that will guarantee him a Supporting Actor Nominee. The audience will love John Amiss.
