The Rewrite Plot

A washed-up screenwriter reluctantly takes a college teaching job and meets a single mother who changes his life in more ways than one.

Things do not go well for Keith in the beginning; he unintentionally insults fellow professor Mary Weldon with his awkward sense of humor; he strikes up a brief relationship with student Karen Gabney which turns sour quickly.

Keith also does not believe in the concept of teaching and is uninterested in his job, as exemplified by his selecting students for his class based on appearance and dismissing them for a month. And then it gets worse.
