Duane Hopwood is a 2005 film featured in the Sundance Film Festival. It stars David Schwimmer and Janeane Garofalo, and includes John Krasinski, Judah Friedlander, Susan Lynch, Dick Cavett, and Mia Dillon. It was released by IFC Films in November 2005.
Its plot centers on the titular character (Schwimmer), an alcoholic whose life is spiraling downward rapidly after his divorce from Linda (Garofalo).
The movie, writer/director Matt Mulhern's second film, was well-received by critics, named by Roger Ebert as "one of the best movies of 2005." He also said that David Schwimmer gave a "career-transforming performance." IFC did not release the film in New York or Los Angeles, focusing instead on such hotspots as Philadelphia, Tucson and Kansas City. HBO released the DVD in April 2006 and Showtime and The Movie Channel began the cable run in December 2006.
