Daniels is a struggling novelist with Reynolds as his imaginary friend (who kind of comes off like a dick in the trailer) who makes friends with a local high school girl, played by Emma Stone. Stone of course is much more level headed and world wise than everyone else her age and the two form a bond that no one else understands. Seems like a fairly standard indie plot with a touch of schizophrenia tossed in. The official synopsis followed by the trailer:

Their tenuous, new friendship is sparked by Richard’s awe over Abby’s homemade soup and Abby’s enjoyment of Richard’s writing and his attempts at Origami. As the season progresses and the warm, quirky friendship between Richard and Abby grows, the two begin to share with each other their dreams and life hardships. With the coming of spring, Richard and Abby discover there comes a time to let go of the imaginary friends of the past and to embrace the future as a new beginning.

It looks like it could be decent but regardless this movie will never be the best movie featuring an imaginary friend. That honor will always belong to Drop Dead Fred. That film is devine. Paper Man hits theaters in limited release on April 23rd.

Props to FilmDrunk for the find.
