“The Tender BarJ.R. (Tye sheridan) is the story of a fatherless boy growing in the glow a bar where his Uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck), the bartender, is the sharpest and most colorful among a host of quirky and demonstrative dad figures. As the boy’s determined mother (Lily Rabe) struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her—and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father (Christopher Lloyd)—J.R. begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams—with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar.”
