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
...the bottom line is that the film never quite takes off - though there's no denying that both Falk and Daly are very effective.
