"Henry Poole is Here" (2008)

When his life turned upside down by circumstances beyond his control, Henry Poole returns to the middle-class Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up hoping for some peace and solitude. Through a perky realtor, he quickly makes a full price offer on a cookie-cutter house and settles in with a case of vodka and all the Krispy Kremes he can eat. But Henry's solo retreat is disrupted by a trio of female neighbors: a well-meaning busybody named Esperanza who drops by with a plate of homemade tamales and a whole lot of questions; solemn eight-year-old Millie who hasn’t spoken a word in the years since her parents’ break-up, but who surreptitiously records neighborhood chatter and plays it back—often at the most inopportune moments—and her mother, Dawn, the beautiful young divorcée next door who sparks unexpected tenderness in Henry.
